Gangadhar Andaluri

Dr. Andaluri is an Assistant Professor in the Civil and Engineering Department at Temple University. He received his PhD in Engineering from Temple University (2011), MS and BS in Chemical Engineering from Villanova University (2006) and Osmania University (2003), respectively. Prior to joining the department as an Assistant professor, Dr. Andaluri worked as an NTT faculty, Senior Lab Manager, and post-doctoral fellow in the Civil and Environmental Engineering department at Temple. His research focus is on emerging contaminants, advanced oxidation technologies, analytical methods, chemical sensors, artificial neural networks, chemical engineering thermodynamics, and computational quantum chemistry techniques. He is also the faculty advisor for the Society of Environmental Engineers and Scientists (SEES) student chapter at Temple University.
