Materials Engineering Department, IIT Gandhinagar

Welcome to FML!
We are a bunch of energetic and passionate researchers who conducts interdisciplinary research in the field of surface science and engineering. We are interested in fabricating and characterizing the porous ceramics and micro/nano textured polymers and ceramics for tackling real-life challenges in the environmental and food sectors.
​
The primary research interests of our group are:
​
-
Nature Inspiration strategies
-
Non Wetting Surfaces (Superhydrophobic, Slippery)
-
Colloidal and Nano Powders Processing
-
Tribology of microtextured/porous surfaces and 2D materials
-
Corrosion and Fluid Transport
