This webinar is part of the series
Water, Sanitation, Hygiene for Preventing Infectious Diseases (WASH)
The theme discussed in this webinar will be:
Science and engineering innovations as part of interdisciplinary approaches to preventing neglected tropical diseases
Dr Pavani Cherukupally
Faculty of Engineering, Department of Chemical Engineering, Research Associate
The overarching objective of Dr Cherukupally’s research is to unravel interactions between solid-liquid-gaseous systems and translate that knowledge into affordable materials and processes to address global environmental and public health challenges.
At Imperial, she investigated cell-surface interactions to develop affordable materials to prevent water-borne diseases. Also, for BASF at Ludwigshafen, Germany, they developed rapid characterization methods to evaluate the stability of the pharmaceutical powders at real-world environmental conditions.
Dr Pavani Cherukupally received a PhD and MEng from the University of Toronto and a BEng from Osmania University, all in Mechanical Engineering in addition to research training in nanoscience, surface chemistry, and microbiology. Also, she was a Visiting Scholar at Imperial College London, UK, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US. Her research expertise is in thermofluidics, material science, imaging, water quality analysis, and microbiology assays.
