  I express my gratitude to the ITU-APT foundation of india for inviting me to the national conference on wifi in 6GHz in New Delhi.  I was encouraged to see the interest around wifi technologies from industry leaders and policy makers who have started to recognise its potential as an alternative wireless communication enabler that can offload network traffic on mobile networks while providing both indoor and outdoor connectivity.  Unlocking new unlicenced frequency bands is a step in the right direction. What's even more important is to start thinking about building custom base stations that can provide far more features and flexibility than home and enterprise access points available in the market today.  Opensource operating systems like Openwrt have unlocked the possibility of developing customised wifi solutions that can match the power of base stations deployed by mobile networks operators making last mile connectivity cheaper and accessible.  A wifi acces...

ABSTRACT  Evaporation of water is a complex phenomenon that is governed by environmental conditions. Textbooks and research papers explain evaporation by kinetic theory of gasses as energy distribution of the molecules depend upon the Maxwell Boltzmann statistics.  However, this approach does not fully account for localized temperature variations within the water that facilitate evaporation even when the bulk temperature remains below the boiling point. This paper presents a thermomechanical model that incorporates the role of bubbles at the air-water interface in enhancing evaporation.  We propose that bubbles form due to gas supersaturation, undergo isothermal nucleation, and contribute to localized heating through heat exchange with surrounding water. Additionally, bubble rupture induces stress on the liquid film, leading to hydrogen bond breakage and further promoting evaporation. The collapse of nanobubbles generates capillary waves with short lifetimes and wavelengt...

6 June 2025 Excited to share that my research paper 'Unlocking the Potential of Carbon for Long-Distance Electrical Transmission' has been accepted for oral presentation at the International Materials Applications & Technologies Conference and Exposition - IMAT (October 20-23, 2025) in Detroit, MI.  I thank the IMAT committee for giving me the opportunity to share my views on carbon based conductors and the immense potential they hold in meeting the needs of power industry by providing a viable alternative to copper in HVDC transmission. It has been a focus area of research of many organizations and among those , the researchers at Bosch have made significant contribution to development of high conductivity carbon wires.   I would also like to thank ASM international for providing a platform to material scientists from around the world to exchange ideas. Without their tireless behind the scenes work the community would be far more fragmented and unorganised.  I l...
