I am a multimedia designer with working experience in identity design, brand development, and marketing campaigns. I have successfully crafted visual identities for a range of brands and have expertise in visual communication design, including animation, film production, and sound design. While working in the IT industry, I led design teams and managed in-house ad productions that received recognition for their innovative strategies and cost-effective execution.

Design can be pivotal in shaping more equal, just and ethical futures. It is with that knowledge that I strive to create an engaging and empowering learning environment that can inspire students to become curious, aware, confident, and highly motivated designers.

Dr. Vinit Kumar Tripathi is working as an Assistant Professor at R.V. University, Bangalore. He obtained his doctoral degree from the Department of Applied Sciences at the National Institute of Technology Delhi (NIT Delhi) in November 2022. His doctoral thesis was titled “Linear and nonlinear study of double-diffusive convection in a fluid layer”.

He has successfully cleared national- level examinations, CSIR – NET (Mathematics) with AIR-34 and GATE (Mathematics) with AIR-401. During his PhD journey he obtained Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) and Senior Research Fellowship (SRF) from NIT Delhi. Dr. Tripathi has authored numerous research articles in esteemed journals. His research interests encompass various areas of Applied and Computational Mathematics, with a specific focus on Stability analysis of double diffusive problems. He is having 2 year of teaching experience.

Dr. Chakravarthula S K Raju (CSK Raju), an accomplished academic with a strong foundation in applied mathematics. I obtained my M.Sc. in Applied Mathematics from S.V. University in Tirupathi, where I developed a keen interest in fluid dynamics and mathematical modeling. This passion led me to pursue a doctoral degree at VIT University in Vellore, where my research focused on complex fluid behaviors and their applications in various engineering fields. Following my Ph.D., I furthered my expertise through a postdoctoral fellowship at Hanyang University in South Korea, where I engaged in cutting-edge research and collaborations.

Throughout my academic career, I have published over 180 research articles in peer-reviewed, ISI/SCIE-indexed international journals, making significant contributions to the fields of mathematics and engineering. I also authored a book for Elsevier, further solidifying my role as a thought leader in my area of expertise. Notably, several of my articles are included in the highly cited database on Web of Science, reflecting the impact and relevance of my work.

In addition to my research, I serve as an external research advisory committee member for VTU and CMR University, helping to guide and shape academic programs and research initiatives. I have been recognized in Stanford University’s top 2% scientist database for the last five years (2020-2024), a testament to my ongoing contributions to the scientific community. I also hold an Associate Editorial Board membership for “Advances in Mechanical Engineering,” published by Sage.

Currently, I am an Assistant Professor at the School of Computer Science and Engineering at RV University. Here, I leverage my seven years of experience to mentor and guide students across undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programs, fostering the next generation of innovators and researchers.

I am a dynamic professional with a unique blend of expertise in engineering, data analysis, and customer service, developed through diverse roles and advanced studies. My journey began with a Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering, where I gained the technical knowledge to design and visualize complex mechanical components using tools like AutoCAD. Later, I pursued a Master’s in Information Systems from CQ University, allowing me to expand my focus into data analysis and business intelligence, mastering platforms such as Tableau, Power BI, and Python programming. This combination of technical and analytical skills empowers me to approach projects with a multifaceted perspective, bridging the gap between engineering precision and data-driven decision-making.

In addition to my background in engineering, I’ve further enhanced my analytical expertise through a Master’s in Data Science. This has equipped me with advanced problem-solving abilities, enabling me to harness automation and deep data insights to optimize processes and improve outcomes across various projects.

Currently pursuing a Ph.D. at RV University, focusing on the healthcare domain, I continue to expand my knowledge and apply my skills to research-driven solutions. My career is built on the philosophy that imagination fuels innovation, and I am committed to thinking creatively to solve problems and bring value to every project. With a strong foundation in both mechanical design and data analytics, I bring a versatile, results-oriented approach to every challenge.
