We are pleased to congratulate Dr. Awaneesh Singh, Associate Professor, Department of Physics, IIT (BHU), and his student Mr. Devendra Kumar Verma on the publication of their Research Letter in Physical Review E (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1103/zl77-mx75), a prestigious journal of the American Physical Society (APS).

Their study reveals that reversible chemical reactions can act as a powerful control mechanism during fluid separation. While immiscible fluids naturally push apart, chemical conversion continuously mixes them back together, creating a dynamic balance that halts growth and locks the system into a stable, tunable structure. Remarkably, the final pattern is universal — independent of how the process begins — and its size can be precisely controlled by adjusting the reaction rate.

Dr. Singh leads the Multiscale Soft Matter Simulation (MSS) Lab, focusing on interdisciplinary research in computational soft matter, particularly in polymer dynamics and stimuli-driven phase segregation. This achievement, which was selected through a highly competitive process, highlights the dedication of his team to impactful research and underscores IIT (BHU)’s commitment to excellence and global engagement in science and innovation.

We are delighted to share that Mr. Ayush Kerhalkar, a third-year undergraduate student from the Department of Electronics Engineering, has been awarded the prestigious IEEE AP-S Undergraduate Summer Research Scholarship (USRS) Fellowship.

This year, only 34 students were selected globally, making this achievement truly exceptional.

This accomplishment has been achieved under the guidance of Dr. Somak Bhattacharyya, whose mentorship and support have played a significant role in this success.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Ayush and Dr. Bhattacharyya for this remarkable achievement and wish them continued success in their academic and research endeavors.

Kudos to the Department of Electronics Engineering and the entire IIT (BHU) community for fostering such excellence!
