She also worked in collaboration with the Department of chemistry of the University of Pisa and CNR institute of Pisa in performing the experimental sessions of GC-MS analysis on organic residues ,portable XRF and Raman analysis on non- destructive spectroscopic characterisation of ancient materials.

Research Studentship Programme

Heartiest congratulations to Kunal Kakria (17BCL0049) and Nithin Nerella (17BCL0063), Department of Civil Engineering for being selected as a part of “Research Studentship Programme” at the department of Highway and Pavement Engineering, Universiti Putra Malaysia, UPM in collaboration with Novapave Sdn Bhd for a duration of 2.5 months. They studied the possibilities of utilizing Tyre Rubber as a filler in asphalt and Fiber with varying gradations in asphalt and studied their effects while finding their scope in road construction. They also worked with different materials like Cold Set Asphalt (Vialit, Germany), Fiber Mastic Asphalt (Malaysia), Runway pavement (Shell, Indonesia) etc. performing the experimental analysis by Resilient modulus, Flow and stability, Marshall fuel test etc.

Mr. Kunal Kakria (17BCL0049), B.Tech, School of Civil Engineering under the guidance of Dr. S. Thirumalini, School of Civil Engineering and Dr. Venkatesh Srinivasan, School of Electrical Engineering presented a paper titled "Three-Dimensional Implementation of Modified Rolling Sphere Method for Lightning Protection of Giant Medieval Chola Monument in South India" at the 14th IEEE International Conference on Industrial and Information Systems (ICIIS) held at the University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka from 18th to 20th December 2019. The research explores the use of 3D modeling of old Chola temples and using various methods to identify the locations susceptible to a lightning strike along with suggested preventive measures.
