Ph.D Research Scholars
Mr. Raj Gaurav
Ph.D Research Scholar
Brief Bio: Raj Gaurav is a Research Scholar in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai. Raj is pursuing Ph.D. under the guidance of Prof. Pallab Sinha Mahapatra and Prof. Sarith P Sathian. He holds a Bachelor of Technology degree in Mechanical Engineering from the National Institute of Technology Manipur, with a CPI of 8.5, earned in 2019. Before joining his current institution, Raj served as a Junior Research Fellow on a project sponsored by the Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB), titled ‘Novel Cooling Techniques for Substrates Exposed to Very High Temperatures’ at NIT Manipur. Currently, his research focuses on Computational Modeling of Red Blood Cell Dynamics in microcirculation, examining both healthy and diseased states.
About Research
Millions of people in India are affected with various red blood cell disorders. A deeper understanding of the dynamics of blood flow and its relation to human health and disease can significantly impact the diagnosis and treatment of these patients. Furthermore, advancements in microfluidics and miniaturized lab-on-a-chip technology have made a considerable impact on point-of-care blood analysis. Low-cost and easy-to-use microfluidic devices will enable us to detect the diseases quickly. My proposed research will help to develop better diagnostic tools and even evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment. The current research in this field is focused on developing computational models by explicitly modeling red blood cells to simulate blood flow in small blood vessels and understanding the complex flow dynamics.
