About Dr. Dhaniyala

Biography

Dr. Dhaniyala earned his B.Tech in Naval Architecture from The Indian Institute of Technology in 1992 , his M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from The University of Delaware in 1994 , and his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from The University of Minnesota in 1998. From 1999 to 2002 he was a Post-doctoral Scholar at The California Institute of Technology. He joined Clarkson University in 2008 and is currently a Bayard D. Clarkson Distinguished Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering as well as the Co-Director of the Center for Air and Aquatic Resources Engineering and Sciences.

Research Interests

Professor Dhaniyala’s research interests are in developing techniques for accurate characterization of airborne particle properties and understanding the fate of aerosol particles in the environment.

Some of his current funded research projects include: measurement of physical properties of aerosol particles from airborne platforms; fast measurements of aerosol hygroscopicity, development of novel aerosol sensors for large spatial-scale measurements, characterization of filter performance under low-pressure, and fundamental studies of particle resuspension from non-smooth surfaces.

Funding sources for these research projects include: NSF, NASA, NYSERDA, Pall Inc., and DTRA.
