About

Anupam Pandey is a researcher whose work bridges fluid dynamics, soft robotics, and bio-inspired engineering, with a particular focus on free surface flows and interfacial phenomena. His key research areas include the mechanics of thin liquid films, the role of inertia in surface-driven pumping, and the design of robotic systems that mimic biological locomotion and feeding strategies. In his notable 2024 study on inertial effects in free surface pumping with an undulating surface, Pandey developed a centimetric robotic undulator inspired by the feeding and locomotion of apple snails. This work demonstrated how wave-like boundary motions can drive viscous films, offering new insights into the interplay between inertia and surface tension in biological and engineered systems. While his citation count is still growing, his contributions are already recognized for their novelty in combining experimental robotics with theoretical fluid mechanics. Pandey’s research holds promise for advancing microfluidic pumping, soft robotics, and our understanding of biological transport mechanisms, making him an emerging voice in the field of bio-inspired fluid dynamics.
