Soft Matter Sciences and Contemporary Applications
Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur
Dr. Pratyaksh Karan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at IIT Jodhpur. His research lies at the intersection of fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, and transport phenomena, with a focus on applied mechanics, soft matter, and reactive transport in porous media. His work integrates analytical modelling, numerical simulations, and experiments to study how flow, deformation, and transport interact across scales. His research spans applications in industry, academics, health and environment, emphacizing deformable and heterogeneous media such as soft tissues, hydrogels, polymers, and porous materials.
