Vivek Narsimhan studies the physics of small particles, droplets, and biological-cell-like membranes (vesicles) suspended in fluids, using mathematical modeling and computer simulation. His work examines how these objects deform, orient, break apart, or merge together when subjected to flows, including flows of complex fluids that behave differently from simple liquids like water. This research has applications in areas such as drug delivery, freeze-drying of medicines, and industrial processes involving emulsions and suspensions.
Publication output has been steady over the last decade, averaging around 5-6 papers per year with a peak in 2020, showing consistent and sustained research activity.
