Coordinate-dependent diffusion makes space inhomogeneous, and apparently strange things happen under such circumstances. We have seen that when particles of dissimilar sizes interact through attractive forces, they can exhibit directed transport driven by equilibrium fluctuations of the bath. Such a transport can result in the structure formation of a heterogeneous particle system in the presence of coordinate-dependent diffusion. The project will be to investigate such structures formed.
Basic statistical mechanics and classical mechanics.
Knowledge of at least one programming language.
IISER Pune invites applications from research oriented students to participate in its Summer Student Programmes. Successful applicants will have an opportunity to participate in the research programmes of IISER-Pune faculty. Research activities in IISER-Pune span both theory and experiment in Biology, Chemistry, Data Science, Earth and Climate Science, Mathematics, Humanities, Physics and Earth Sciences with a strong focus on interdisciplinary research. These summer projects are also an opportunity for students to evaluate the suitability of various programmes at IISER-Pune (Integrated PhD and PhD) for future career choice.
This application form is meant for non-IISER Pune students.
This web registration process is not meant for
Summer fellows selected for IISER-Pune
through other fellowship programmes like IASc and JNCASR.
