The IRC-Construction and Building Materials at KFUPM is pleased to welcome Dr. Ravikiran Nowduru as a Postdoctoral Fellow. He received his Ph.D. in Materials Engineering from the University of Hyderabad, India, in 2024. Prior to joining KFUPM, he served as a Research Associate at ARCI, Hyderabad.

Dr. Ravikiran’s research expertise includes the sustainable and scalable processing of carbon nanomaterials, surface and interface engineering, rheology and tribology, thermal characterization, and energy-storage materials. His work focuses on developing application-oriented materials through sustainable processing routes, including kilogram-scale graphene production and the conversion of waste materials into functional carbon materials.

We warmly welcome Dr. Ravikiran Nowduru and look forward to his valuable contributions to research at IRC-Construction and Building Materials, KFUPM.
