Research summary

Harsa Mitra works at the intersection of chemical engineering and biophysics, studying the flow behavior (rheology) and transport properties of complex fluids such as lipid nanoparticles, proteins, and hydrogels. Recent work focuses on how nanoparticles move through biological materials like skin and hyaluronic acid solutions, how mixing and formulation methods affect RNA-carrying lipid nanoparticles used in drug delivery, and using computational and machine-learning tools (physics-informed neural networks) to model these flow processes. This research is broadly aimed at improving the design and delivery of injectable therapeutics.
