Ph.D. Scholars

Laxman V Rathod
During my M.Tech. in Water Resources Engineering at SVNIT Surat, I focused on Artificial Intelligence-based estimation of bed material load. I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. at SVNIT Surat and my work is centered on experimental study of flow hydrodynamics in a vegetative compound channel.

Rakesh Kumar
I obtained my M.Tech. in Civil Engineering from IIT (ISM), Dhanbad, where I conducted experimental research on turbulent parameters in narrow gravel-bed channels. I am currently pursuing doctoral studies, focusing on the application of CFD to advance knowledge and innovation in the field of river engineering.

Ravi Kumar Mishra
I hold a B.Tech. in Civil Engineering from Punjab Engineering College (PEC) Chandigarh and an M.Tech. in Civil Engineerig with specialization in Hydraulics from IIT Roorkee. My doctoral research work focuses on simulation-optimization model for sustainable sediment mining in rivers.

Rozy Kumari
I graduated with an M.Tech. in Water Resources Engineering from the National Institute of Technology (NIT), Patna, where my M.Tech. project focused on computational fluid dynamics modeling of raceway ponds. Currently, I am pursuing doctoral research, exploring the field of fluvial hydraulics and river systems.

Saundarya Narayan Kashyap
I completed B.Tech in Agricultural Engineering from Assam University and an M.Tech in Water Resources Engineering from SVNIT Surat. My current research involves analysis of turbulence parameters in vegetated channels.

Yatirajulu Gurugubelli
I earned my M.Tech. in Water Resources Engineering from SVNIT, Surat, and I am currently a Ph.D. Scholar at the same institution. My research focuses on flow turbulence and morphological characteristics in an asymmetric sinuous channel. I aim to deepen the understanding of these critical aspects of river systems.
