Radhakrishna Sureshkumar Research Group

Syracuse University

Radhakrishna Sureshkumar investigates how complex fluids acquire their structure and how that structure changes their motion and rheology. His research connects soft matter with the nanoscale engineering of functional materials and interfaces. Work on polymeric solutions examines flow behavior relevant to applications such as more efficient oil extraction. More broadly, the program bridges chemical engineering, mathematical and numerical analysis, and material physics. It offers a way to study how microscopic organization produces observable flow properties and how those relationships can guide the design of useful materials.
