Nominator's project description

Professor Dr. Ashutosh Sharma is honoured for his research in the areas of meso-mechanics, thin films, free surface flows and surface He has made important contributions to technologically challenging multi-disciplinary areas of meso-scale structures and properties in soft materials, interface science and nano-engineering. In Germany, Professor Sharma will do research in the field of capillary hydromechanics of thin and ultra-thin films.
