I am Dr. B A Naidu, an Assistant Professor in the Mechanical Department at GITAM University. My academic journey includes a Post-Doc from IIT Bombay (2023-24), a Ph.D. from IIT Roorkee (2017-22), an M.Tech from NIT Surat in 2017, and a B.Tech from GMR Institute of Technology, Rajam in 2014. My expertise lies in manufacturing, and I have a keen interest in interdisciplinary research endeavors.
