The Junior Faculty Outstanding Research Award is one of the highest honors the Clark School gives to junior faculty, and was instituted in 2010 to recognize exceptionally influential research accomplishments by its junior faculty.
Dr. Das is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. His research lies at the intersection of soft matter physics, elasticity, fluid mechanics, and surface science, where he is addressing key questions regarding the static and dynamic behaviors of deformable surfaces under the influence of surface tension.
Dr. Das’ research is leading to the understanding of important soft wetting phenomena with the potential to impact applications ranging from nanofabrication to biotechnology. He has received wide recognition for his groundbreaking contributions in soft wetting and interfacial science, including their applications in fields as broad as water-nanomaterial interactions and additive manufacturing.
