Indian Institute of Technology, Ropar, India invites application for Post-doctoral (PDF) Position from eligible and interested candidates
About- IIT Ropar community has undertaken an important exercise of developing the Mission, Vision, and Strategic Plan for the coming years. The exercise was carried out in active consultation with the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta who has got technical expertise in this area. A participative bottom-up approach was followed in formulating the Mission, Vision, and Strategic Plan. Inputs from the entire IIT Ropar fraternity, MHRD, Board of Governors, Alumni, and Industries were considered in the process. Finally, we have arrived at the following Motto, Mission and Vision statement for the institute. Post-doctoral (PDF) Position

The project details are as follows:
Nanobubbles are a novel type of nanoscale bubble system. They have a typical mean spherical diameter of 100–200 nano-meters and they exist in bulk liquid. The most peculiar characteristic of these bulk nanobubbles is their extraordinary longevity. Whilst the lifetime of microbubbles is of the order of minutes and that of microbubbles (1–1000 microns) is on the order of seconds, nanobubbles have been reported to last for weeks and months. The Young–Laplace equation, however, predicts a huge inner gas pressure (e.g., around 30 atm inside a typical 100 nm nanobubble in pure water) and, consequently, bubble dynamics theory of Epstein–Plesset predicts that they would dissolve extremely quickly on a time-scale of about 1–100ms. Though bulk nanobubbles are a relatively new field, because of their unusual longevity they are already attracting a lot of industrial attention and many potential applications have been proposed. Thus, there is immense scope for nanobubbles to impact and even revolutionize many current industrial processes. The potential to exploit the unique properties of NBs for improving water treatment due to (1) extraordinary longevity (2) ability of NBs to improve gas transfer into water or influence gas trapped on particle surfaces, (3) ability to produce quasi-stable reactive oxygen species (ROS) on the surface of NBs to oxidize pollutants and pathogens in water, (4) ability to improve particle aggregation through intraparticle NB bridging, and (5) ability to mitigate fouling on surfaces. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) enhances the seed germination and plant growth. The nanobubbles show great potential as ultrasound-mediated drug-delivery vehicles to facilitate drug release and extravascular delivery.
