The Department of Civil and Infrastructure Engineering is delighted to inform the success of Mr. Satish Kumar Adari's Overseas Visiting Doctoral Fellowship (OVDF) application. The OVDF program is funded by SERB, India and enables him to conduct one year of research at the prestigious Center for Offshore, Foundation and Energy Engineering (COFFEE) Laboratory of Prof. Rodrigo Salgado, Purdue University, USA.

Satish is working under the supervision of Dr. Pradeep Kumar Dammala, and his research is focused on developing constitutive soil models to understand the response of monopile foundations in seismic regions. Through the program, Dr. Pradeep will also visit the COFFEE Laboratory at Purdue University for research collaboration with Prof. Salgado.

The Department congratulates both Mr. Satish and Dr. Pradeep for the achievement.
