Active Micro and Nanosystems Lab
Welcome to AMN Lab at IIT Bhilai
Welcome to the research group website of Dr. Dhruv Pratap Singh, Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics, IIT Bhilai, India.
Our interdisciplinary research group is focused on the design and applications of active systems at micro and nanometer scales. These active systems include the autonomous robots, self-propelled motors, and high density artificial active matter, etc. Motivated from the design principles of small scale biological active systems like bacteria and cells we aim to develop different types of artificial active systems for specific applications like targeted drug delivery, non-invasive surgery, dynamic colloidal assembly, and reconfigurable materials, etc.
