Prof. Chowdhury's area of research interest lies on the experimental area related to soft condensed matter with an emphasize to non­ equlibrium phenomena. He mainly concentrates on problems where the dimension of sample reaches close to characteristic length scale defining a non­equilibrium phenomena occurring in polymers or broadly in structured fluids (including surfactants, self­propelling liquid crystals, active matter etc.). He looks into relaxation phenomena in polymers and complex fluids. Additionally, he is actively advancing understanding on droplet drying, colloids, artificial swimmers and porous metal­organic frame work materials with a outlook focused to fluid dynamics. Prof. Chowdhury joined IIT Bombay from the Department of Chemical & Biological Engineering at Princeton University, USA where he worked as an associate postdoctoral research scholar. He completed brief postdoctoral stays at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland and University of St Andrews, UK. He was awarded with Ramanujan fellowship (2018) and Early career research award (2019) by DST, SERB, India
