Ravi Jagadeeshan
Ravi Jagadeeshan is a Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Monash University, where he heads the Molecular Rheology group. His research is focussed on developing a theoretical and computational description of the flow behaviour of polymer solutions using a multiscale approach that combines molecular simulations at the mesoscopic scale with continuum simulations on a macroscopic scale. He is also interested in applying methods of soft matter physics to studying problems in biology.
