Dr. Balajee Ramakrishnananda got his Doctoral Degree from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, in 1997. He obtained his Masters degree from IISc, Bangalore and B. Tech. from IIT, Madras. Prior to joining Amrita, he was working as a Software Engineering Manager at AMD, Hyderabad in the area of GPGPU Computing. He had also worked as a Scientist-B at National Aerospace Laboratories, Bangalore in the area of Transonic Wind Tunnel Testing. He has worked for several years in the Military & Flight Simulation fields in product development and managerial roles in Singapore and Hyderabad. He had also worked on physics based animation where he placed aerodynamics and flight mechanics of birds in a perspective suited for computer animation. He has worked on Wind Turbine Aerofoil design and his research interests include application of CFD to transonic flows, Micro Aerial Vehicles and Wind Turbines.
