Eshwaraiah Ravula, Ph.D. (2024 - )

I am a research scholar at IIT Hyderabad, working under the supervision of Dr. Sachidananda Behera and Dr. Ankush Kumar Jaiswal. My research focuses on the “thermal management of electronic devices using phase-change material (PCM)-based and hybrid heat sinks”. My research interests include Computational fluid dynamics (CFD), heat and mass transfer, phase-change materials, and energy-efficient thermal system design. Outside of my research, I strongly believe in the power of continuous learning. Despite the many roles I juggle, I find fulfillment in pursuing new knowledge, mentoring younger students, and engaging in community-driven scientific outreach.

Guglothu Purnivas, Ph.D. (2025 - )

I am Guglothu Purnivas (ME25RESCH01001), a Ph.D. Research Scholar in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at IIT Hyderabad. My research focuses on the design, evaluation, and optimization of adsorption-based atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) systems. In my free time, I enjoy watching football and playing cricket.

Pawan Gupta, M. Tech. (2024 - )

I am working as a postgraduate research scholar (M. Tech) in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at IIT Hyderabad. Working on Atmospheric Water Harvesting (AWH) using sorption-based materials such as MOFs and desiccants. Focus is on experimental system development and optimization for efficient water uptake in low-humidity conditions. I enjoy experimental research and hands-on lab work more than simulations. I am particularly interested in real-world testing, setup design, and prototype validation.
