Fluids and Interfaces across Scales (flairs) Lab
Welcome to flairsLab !
With expertise ranging from atomic-scale computational modeling to cutting-edge microscale experiments, our research focuses on unraveling surface dynamics and fluid mechanics across scales. We aspire to bridge the molecular and mesoscale boundaries to advance scientific understanding and technological applications. Operating at the intersection of engineering, physics, and chemistry, flairsLab is committed to advancing the global journey toward net zero by driving innovations that address critical challenges concerning environment, sustainability and industrial efficiency.
flairsLab is based at Ahsanullah University of Science & Technology, Dhaka
Research highlights
Films, Foams, Bubbles
Surfactants and Oils
Droplet Dynamics
Capillary Heating
Unlike bulk phases, surfaces and interfaces are inherently inhomogeneous, with their dynamics further complicated by non-equilibrium behavior. Despite spanning only a few nanometers to microns, interfacial properties often dominate the physics of bulk systems. Achieving precise control over these surfaces is key to breakthroughs in various fields. We explore interfacial flows by integrating molecular dynamics, continuum modeling, machine learning, and experimental techniques.

"Search continuously for a better problem than the one you are working on at present. The choice of problem is the most important scientific decision you will ever make.” - Louis Brus (Nobel laureate, Chemistry, 2023)
*flairsLab is launched in November 2024. Some of the research projects described in here were conducted by MRR before launching flairsLab, and during his academic trainings.
