Dr. Sankaran Sundaresan is a Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Princeton University. His research is focused on different classes of multiphase flows - trickle bed reactor hydrodynamics, fluid-particles flows, and bubble dynamics in gas-liquid bubble column reactors. Through a combination of experiments, simulations and theory, his research group has studied the origin of instabilities and the hierarchy of nonuniform structures which arise in granular flows and multiphase flows. The current emphasis of his work on fluid-solid flows, some of which he will touch upon in his presentation.
