Â鶹ÊÓƵ:

Arkava is a fourth-year Ph.D student. Originally from India, Arkava obtained a B.E. in chemical engineering from Jadavpur University in Kolkata, his home city. After his undergrad, Arkava moved to Boulder to pursue his PhD. At CU, Arkava's work mostly involves a combination of microhydrodynamics and electrokinetic phenomena. Ìý

When he doesn't feel like working Arkava likes to delve into books, mostly non-fiction, or watch a good film or cook (most often consulting YouTube videos). He also likes to regularly run outdoors or go for a hike on weekends preferably away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Research:

Arkava's research focuses on the theoretical study of the motion of micro-particles in fluid, driven by diffusiophoretic, electrophoretic, or other interactions. He is currently working on understanding the effects of surface heterogeneities and confinement on the motion of such microparticles.
