Profile

Dr Ramesh KOLLURU

Research Fellow

As a mechanical engineer and researcher, Dr Ramesh Kolluru has a diverse educational background and expertise in algorithm development for high-speed compressible flows and optimisation. He obtained his bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Kakatiya University and a master's degree in Marine Engineering from Andhra University. Continuing his educational journey, he earned a Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from the Indian Institute of Science, which provided him with a strong foundation in the field.

During his post-doctoral fellowship at the Department of Aerospace Engineering, he focused on developing hybrid optimisers for Dassault Aviation. His work involved utilising both gradient-based and non-gradient-based algorithms to enhance optimisation processes. This experience allowed him to gain valuable skills in algorithm development and numerical methods.

Before his post-doctoral fellowship, he was an assistant professor at BMS College of Engineering. In this role, he had the opportunity to teach various mechanical engineering courses and conduct research aligned with his areas of interest. This experience helped him develop his teaching abilities and provided him with hands-on experience in mentoring students.

Currently, Dr Kolluru is associated with CAMBRIDGE CARES, where he is involved in numerically investigating turbulent flows and pollutant dispersion caused by marine traffic in Singapore. His main focus is to develop computational fluid dynamics models that accurately simulate the mixing processes and transformation of pollutants in reacting flows. This research is crucial for understanding and addressing the environmental impacts of marine activities and developing effective pollution mitigation strategies.

With his diverse educational background, expertise in algorithm development, and research experience, Dr Kolluru brings valuable insights and skills to the field of mechanical engineering. He is passionate about advancing our understanding of high-speed flows, optimisation techniques, and the environmental impacts of pollutant dispersion in turbulent flows.
