  • Dr. Sivasrinivasu Devadula received his Ph.D. from Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT-Madras), India in 2008. He worked as a Post-doctoral Research Fellow at Nottingham University, UK for 3½ years (2008-2011). Following it, he worked as a Senior Research Fellow at KTH-Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden for 3½ years (2011-2015) before joining IIT Madras.
  • His research interest includes in particular – machining of 3D-surfaces on advanced engineering materials (super alloys, shape memory alloys, high entropy alloys, diamond, engineering ceramics, engineering composites), abrasive waterjet machining, novel tool path strategies, optimization, process modelling and simulation, machine tools, and in general – conventional and unconventional machining processes, machine tool metrology, micro machining.
