معرفی
Naveen Tiwari is a Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur. His research focuses on transport phenomena, instabilities in micro-scale free surface flows, flow through porous media, and numerical modeling and simulation. He maintains active research collaborations and has published extensively in leading fluid dynamics journals.
His research interests encompass Transport Phenomena, Instabilities in micro-scale free surface flows, Flow through porous media, and Numerical modeling and simulation. His work primarily investigates thin liquid film dynamics, interfacial phenomena, and stability analysis of coating flows over heterogeneous surfaces. His research has significant applications in coating technologies, microfluidics, and thermal management systems.
His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on
- Thin film stability analysis over heated surfaces
- Effects of substrate topography on liquid film behavior
- Nonlinear dynamics of volatile liquid films
- Dip-coating processes on patterned surfaces
His notable scientific achievements include:
- Young Scientist Research Award from the Department of Atomic Energy (2014)
- Membership in the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi (2007-2008)
- Invitation to present at the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics symposium in Bangalore (2014)
Prof. Tiwari received his PhD from the University of Massachusetts Amherst (2003-2008) with a thesis on 'Dynamics and Stability of Non-Inertial Coating Flows over Heterogeneous Surfaces' under Prof. Jeffrey M. Davis. Prior to his current position, he worked as a Senior Research Engineer at Saint-Gobain, MA (USA) from 2008-2012, where he worked on Diesel Particulate Filter regeneration modeling, methane ignition modeling, sapphire crystal growth, and solid-oxide fuel cells.
