INSTITUTE AND DEPARTMENTAL ACTIVITIES:

  •  Presently, I am holding an administrative position, as the faculty coordinator of the Central Library and Shilpi club and also a women’s protection cell member of NIT Andhra Pradesh, Tadepalligudem.
  • I held the position of Prof in charge of R&D for the Department of Civil Engineering and also headed the Research Group for environmental engineering, Water Resources, and Geospatial Technologies group (EEWRGT) at KL University. In this capacity, I motivated both the faculty and students to publish their research in reputed journals and encouraged them to write research projects and internal funding projects. I helped the faculty members and scholars in their preparation of proposals for sponsored projects and also reviewed the progress of student projects. I have the experience of conducting seminars, workshops, and conferences at the national level.
  • Besides, I was the co-convenor for the KLU Green Team, and I coordinated and assisted the external consultants from the industry in solid waste management and made KL university a green university with proper waste management.
  • I was a member of the organizing committee of World Space Week 2017 celebrations which were scheduled from 7th to 9th October 2017 in K L University premises.

SUBJECT HANDLED:

  •  I have dealt with core courses like Engineering Hydrology and Irrigation Engineering for 3rd years and elective courses viz. Remote Sensing and Geographical Information Systems for 2nd & 4th-year students of the department of civil engineering.
  • At KL University I taught core courses like Fluid Mechanics, Water Resources Engineering, and handled laboratories for Fluid Mechanics, Hydraulics, and Hydraulic Machines laboratory. I took open elective courses like Remote Sensing and GIS, Spatial Analysis, and Modelling for UG Students. I had the opportunity to teach core and elective courses like Photogrammetry, Geographical Information System, Digital Image Processing with laboratory, and Urban Water Management for PG students.
  • As a research scholar at NIT Warangal, I taught Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to postgraduate students and assisted the Digital Image Processing and GIS labs for master students and Building Drawing using AutoCAD for UG students.
