​ Internships

​

• Summer Research Fellowship Programme 2009- 

  • Project title: Nature of fluid flow between two rigid plates, under the guidance of Prof. Nibir Mandal from May to July 2009. Highlights: Study of fractal patterns of viscous fluids when compressed uniformly between two plates.

​

• Summer Research Fellowship Programme 2010-

  • Project title: Effects of Non-Newtonian rheology on viscous fingering patterns – an experimental study, under the guidance of Prof. Nibir Mandal from May to July 2010. Highlights: Understanding the viscous fingering-fractal patterns of Non-Newtonian fluids under uniform compression between two plates.

​

• Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology (May to July 2008): 53 days training comprised of geological field and laboratory training. Laboratory techniques included grain size analysis, heavy mineral separation, SEM, XRD and EPMA
