Startup of Steady Shear Flow
We study the possibility of nonuniversality in the nonlinear rheology of polymer melts that previous works have recently questioned.

I am experienced in conducting atomistic and coarse-grained simulations of complex fluids in serial and parallel codes.
Post Doctoral research project:
(i) Coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations to study how copolymers
with different types of liquid crystal moieties can be designed to exhibit complex deformation
behavior.
Doctoral research projects:
(i) Rheology predictions of entangled polymer melts from first principles, using atomistic simulations and a slip-
link model theoretical framework.
(ii) Atomistic molecular dynamics simulations to study water transport and interfacial heat transfer in composite graphene nanochannels
with a polymer matrix support.
We study the possibility of nonuniversality in the nonlinear rheology of polymer melts that previous works have recently questioned.
Here, we study the role of the underlying substrate on interfacial heat transport in supported graphene nanochannels with water.
Molecular dynamics simulations are conduced to study phenomena related to the presence of charge inversion in electrolytes confined in nanopores
