PROJECTS

1. Worked in SEREN project http://grc.engineering.cf.ac.uk/research proj/seren/, developing Web based Geoinformatics – Low Carbon toolkit which include a multilayer spatial information display system, termed a Geographic Information System (GIS). The tool kit consists of Neural Network based Decision Support System (DSS) which will enable collected and collated data to be used in a powerful and flexible manner in Carbon Sequestration, Under Ground Coal Gasification and Ground Source Heat Applications.
2. Pollutants in the Urban Environment (PurE) “Pollutants in the Urban Environment” (PUrE) is a four year EPSRC funded project, led by the University of Surrey, which will provide an improved scientific understanding of the behaviour and impacts of pollutants on human health and the environment in cities. http://grc.engineering.cf.ac.uk/research/59/
3. Executed a Andhra Pradesh State Pollution Control Board project entitled “Continuous ambient air quality monitoring using integrated electrochemical sensors and met sensors at selected sites in Hyderabad and data online transmission using internet protocol” Sep 2002 – Aug 2006. Position: Senior Research Fellow
