Siddhartha Das

Siddhartha Das is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Maryland working across micro- and nanoscale fluid mechanics, soft electrokinetics, polyelectrolyte brush systems, and the behavior of water and ions confined near 2D materials such as graphene and hexagonal boron nitride. His group also applies atomistic simulation and machine learning to soft-matter problems, including fluid dynamics in additive manufacturing. He has authored more than 210 papers in journals including Nature Materials, Science Advances, and PNAS, is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, the Royal Society of Chemistry, and the Institute of Physics, and is ranked among the top 2% of cited scientists globally. The AES Mid-Career Award recognizes an investigator in the middle of their career for exceptional contributions to electrophoresis, microfluidics, and related fields.
