Biography
Dr. Balajee Ramakrishnananda got his Doctoral Degree from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, in 1997. His doctoral thesis work centered around the computational study of flow through a centrifugal vaned diffuser used in transonic flow regimes. 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. Dr. Balajee 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. He had also worked on physics based animation where he placed aerodynamics and flight mechanics of birds in a perspective suited for computer animation.
