Mr. R. Kiran Kumar Reddy is pursuing a PhD in Vibro-Acoustics at the National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, under the Prime Minister Research Fellowship (PMRF) program. He is the first recipient of the "PMRF Awardee" in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli.
He completed his Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering from Rajiv Gandhi University of Knowledge Technologies, AP III T Kadapa, in 2018. He then pursued an M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering (Machine Design) from KL University.
Mr. Reddy's research interests include experimental and analytical investigations into various aspects of structural mechanics and acoustics. His work focuses on buckling, vibration, and the vibro-acoustic characteristics of complex structures such as sandwich panels, curved panels, and materials like smart and functionally graded materials.
