About Me

Dr. Amit Gupta
Prof. Amit Gupta

Mehra Chair Professor, Dept. of Mech. Eng.

Associate Dean (Infrastructure), IIT Delhi

I joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi as an Assistant Professor in May 2011, was promoted to Associate Professor in 2016, and Professor in 2021.

In addition to teaching and research, I have held several academic and administrative appointments, including Head, Educational Technology Services Centre (ETSC) (September 2019–August 2022); Vice-President, Board for Student Welfare (BSW) (2012–2014); Convenor, Department Research Committee (DRC) (2016–2018); Programme Coordinator, Ph.D. and M.S.(R) programmes (2016–2018); NTPC Chair Professor (2019–2023); and Associate Dean (Infrastructure) at IIT Delhi (September 2024–present). I currently hold the Mehra Chair Professorship.

I serve as a reviewer for a broad range of international journals, including Journal of Fluid Mechanics, Physics of Fluids, Physical Review Fluids, Physical Review E, Chaos, Scientific Reports, Computers & Fluids, Journal of Heat Transfer, Electrochimica Acta, Journal of the Electrochemical Society, International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, Chemical Engineering Science, Materials Research Bulletin, Journal of Thermophysics and Heat Transfer, Applied Surface Science, Ionics, Communications in Computational Physics and International Journal of Molecular Sciences. I am a member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) and the Electrochemical Society (ECS).

My research interests are in lithium-based technologies, microfluidics, and flapping-wing aerodynamics. I was a recipient of the Mrs. Veena Arora Early Career Award from IIT Delhi (February 2021).

Prior to joining IIT Delhi, I was a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at the GM/UM Advanced Battery Coalition for Drivetrains (ABCD), University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (May 2009 – April 2011). As project leader, for the work-stream on 'Micro to cell-based electrode modeling and optimization', I was involved in collaboration with GM R&D and University of Colorado on aspects of Li-ion cell modeling and optimization. During this period, I also began the development of lattice Boltzmann based solvers for analysis of unsteady aerodynamics of flapping wings towards design of Micro-Air Vehicles (MAV).

I received my Ph.D. (2009) and M.S. (2007) in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Central Florida (UCF), and my B.Tech.(2004) from IIT Delhi. As a Graduate Research Assistant at UCF (September 2004 – May 2009), I developed a framework to simulate multiphase flows using lattice Boltzmann method, in particular for droplet formation in T-junction microfluidic devices, and examined bubble rise and coalescence in high pressure systems. My Ph.D and M.S.thesis are titled "Droplet Flows in Microchannels using Lattice Boltzmann Method" and "Lattice Boltzmann Simulation to Study Single and Multi Bubble Dynamics" respectively. My doctoral thesis was recognized with the College of Engineering and Computer Science Outstanding Dissertation Award from UCF (April 2010).

Research Areas

Current and future research is directed along the following thrust areas:

Energy Storage

Due to their high energy and power density, environmentally friendly nature and abundance as a natural resource, Lithium-based technologies are a promising candidate to ease our ever-increasing dependence on fossil fuels. Our research is focused on development of this technology for applications ranging from portable electronic devices to aerial and ground transportation by examining processes at multiple length and time scales. The essential theme is to identify design limitations and scenarios of operation to minimize cell degradation at the microscale (e.g. increase in internal resistance) that may not be captured in a typical laboratory experiment, and thus open doors for improvement.

In our laboratory, major equipment such as vacuum glovebox (make: Jacomex), multi-channel battery cycler (make: BioLogic), vacuum oven, vacuum mixer (make: MTI Corp.), rolling press, disc cutter, film coater & split cell (make: MTI Corp.) have been procured for fabrication of Li-ion coin cells through generous funding provided by sponsors such as IITD, DST and CSIR. Auxiliary equipment such as vacuum pumps and weighing balance are also available.

Flapping Wing Aerodynamics & Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs)

The flight of insects and birds, their high lift to drag ratio, and maneuverability in extreme conditions has fascinated humans for centuries. By studying the characteristics of their flight dynamics and modeling new engineering designs based on our learning from Nature is one way to identify low power, longer endurance and optimized kinematics in the design of efficient MAVs.

Currently, our focus is on fluid-structure interaction of flexible wings and this research has been sponsored through an ARDB project. By using lattice Boltzmann method (LBM), an in-house code has been developed which has a signficant advantage of being capable of running of mutlicore systems using MPI (Message Passing Interface) based parallelization. For mimicing wing flexibility, a two-dimensional lumped torsional flexibility model has been developed for a multi-component system. This model is being used to investigate the role of wing flexibility on fluid mechanics associated with forward propulsion.

Microfluidics

To study complex fluids whose dynamics are strongly influenced by interfacial interactions. In particular, the influence of thermal and electrical actuation through experiments and mesoscale numerical methods like LBM to identify operating conditions for highest throughput for a desired size of the droplet using microfluidic devices for applications in drug delivery and the food industry. Along the same path, analysis of multiphase flows commonly encountered in biological fluids, such as corpuscles in blood and flow cytometers are of interest.

Nanofluids

To explore the physics at the atomistic scale to explain the influence of nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes (CNT) and their surface chemistry on enhancement of heat transfer and critical heat flux in boiling through molecular dynamics (MD) based methods.
