DESCRIPTION:In this presentation I will share results from some fundamenta
 l experiments focussed on investigating freezing of supercooled cold drops
  in contact with solid surfaces. A common theme running through the presen
 tation will the need for precise surface nanotexturing and wettability con
 trol to control ice formation\, ice adhesion and impalement resistance of 
 surfaces subjected to impact by cold liquid objects. I will use experiment
 al results to highlight a rational approach to design icephobic surfaces o
 ffering passive anti-icing property. Aspects of surface durability will be
  touched upon followed by a discussion on results from our preliminary wor
 k on impact of water drops on nanoengineered\, iceohobic surfaces.
