Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChennakesava Kadapa is an Associate Professor in Mechanical Engineering at Edinburgh Napier University with nine years of experience bridging academic research and engineering practice. He specializes in CAD, FEA, CFD, FSI, structural dynamics and isogeometric analysis, with a PhD focused on mixed Galerkin and least-squares formulations for nearly incompressible and elastoplastic materials. His background includes industry-leading FE modelling at General Electric and research software engineering for HPC-driven multiphysics simulations, with hands-on development in C++, Fortran, Python and MATLAB. He has a track record of translating advanced numerical formulations into robust research software and best-practice modelling approaches adopted in engineering teams. Based in Edinburgh, he combines deep theoretical insight with practical experience in fatigue life estimation, multiscale multiphysics and high-performance computation. An understated strength is his ability to deliver LBB-stable NURBS-based formulations that improve accuracy for challenging incompressible and elastoplastic problems.
