Tejas Dethe

Tejas Dethe is a soft matter physicist affiliated with the Princeton Writing Program at Princeton University. His work bridges theoretical and computational approaches to study symmetry, pattern formation, and phase separation in soft materials and multiphase systems.

Research interests include:

• Liquid-liquid phase separation in aqueous and ternary mixtures
• Mechanics of phononic crystals and symmetry-breaking phenomena
• Interdisciplinary pedagogy integrating scientific ethics
• Educational initiatives for justice-impacted and minoritized students

Recent publications focus on tunable wave propagation through deformed phononic crystals, phase separation dynamics in microfluidic systems, and thermodynamically consistent modeling of multiphase flows.

He actively mentors student researchers and advocates for expanded access to academic opportunities.
