About

Dr. Dharmendra Tripathi is a leading figure in theoretical and computational biofluid dynamics, with a core focus on microfluidics, electrokinetics, and nanofluid transport. His research is distinguished by its bio-inspired approach, drawing from natural systems to engineer advanced micro-pumping technologies. A key contribution is his work on electrokinetic insect-bioinspired membrane pumping in high-aspect-ratio microfluidic systems, a study that has garnered 20 citations for its novel integration of biomimicry with electro-osmotic flow control. Dr. Tripathi also made significant strides in the mathematical modeling of hybrid nanofluids, particularly in his 2020 paper on peristaltic pumping through asymmetric microchannels under electromagnetic fields. This work, which applies the Tiwari-Das model to develop bio-thermal-inspired smart nanofluid micro-pumps, has been cited 10 times and is foundational for designing next-generation lab-on-a-chip devices. By combining rigorous mathematical analysis with practical applications in biomedical engineering, Dr. Tripathi’s research continues to shape the future of micro-scale fluid transport and thermal management systems.
