Dr. Rishabh V. More is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering. Prior to joining Monash, he was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He earned his PhD and MS from Purdue University and B.Tech. from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay in Mechanical Engineering. He is a recipient of the Outstanding Graduate Research Award and prestigious Lambert Fellowship at Purdue University and honorarium at the Soft Matter for All symposium organized by the National Science Foundation. His expertise includes fluid mechanics and rheology, focusing on complex fluids and soft matter with applications in energy storage technologies, advanced manufacturing, renewable energy, and environmental flows. His research combines scientific computing, modeling, experiments, and physics-informed machine learning to investigate the mechanics of soft materials across scales, from microscopic to macroscopic, to discover structure-property relationships, develop continuum models, and predict material behavior in desired applications.
Research Interests
Fluid mechanics and the rheology of soft matter are essential for understanding how materials flow, deform, and self-organize—insights that underpin modern manufacturing. At some stage in its production, nearly every product, from advanced materials to everyday items, exists in a soft matter state. By studying and controlling these behaviors, we can innovate across industries such as advanced manufacturing, sustainability, renewable energy, food processing, and mining.
Our lab at Monash University leads in this dynamic field, blending experimental, theoretical, and data-driven approaches to solve real-world challenges. With cutting-edge facilities, strong industry collaborations, and an interdisciplinary research environment, we empower our researchers to innovate and make a global impact.
