Biography
Dr. Nagababu Andraju is a material scientist with broad experience in the polymer informatics. He joined UND in 2021 as a postdoctoral fellow at School of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science (SEECS). His work focused on developing the Machine Learning models to predict the properties of post-consumer recycled polymers. Currently, Dr. Nagababu is a Research Engineer at the Institute for Energy Studies, UND and he involved in different projects including machine learning techniques for postconsumer polymers design, material development for CO2 capture and hydrogen generation, as well as the development of low-cost industrial materials for CO2 mineralization and capture. He actively involved in proposal development and submission for federal funding opportunities.
