Dr. Ch. Venkateswarlu M.Tech., Ph. D, has formerly worked as Scientist, Senior Principal Scientist and Chief Scientist at Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (IICT), Hyderabad, a premier research and development (R&D) institute of Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), India. Later, he worked as Director R&D at BV Raju Institute of Technology (BVRIT), Narsapur, Greater Hyderabad. Prior to Director R&D at BVRIT, he worked as Professor, Principal and Head of Chemical Engineering Department of the same institute. He did his graduation from Andhra University as well as from Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers, and post-graduation and Ph. D in Chemical Engineering from Osmania University, Hyderabad, India. He holds 35 years R&D and industry experience along with 20 years teaching experience. His research interests lie in the areas of conventional process control & advanced process control, dynamic process modelling & simulation, process identification & dynamic optimization, process monitoring & fault diagnosis, state estimation & soft sensing, applied engineering mathematics & evolutionary computing, artificial intelligence & expert systems, and bioprocess engineering & bio-informatics. He published more than 120 research papers in peer journals of repute along with few international and national proceeding publications. He is also credited with 150 technical paper presentations and invited lectures. He authored two books published by Elsevier along with few book chapters. He is also in editorial boards of few international journals. He has executed several R&D projects sponsored by DST and Industry. He is a reviewer of several international research journals and many national and international research project proposals. He has guided several postgraduate and Ph. D students. He served as a long-term guest faculty for premier institutes like Bhaba Atomic Research Centre Scientific Officers Training, BITS Pilani MS (off-campus) and IICT-CDAC Bioinformatics Programs. He is a Fellow of Andhra Pradesh Akademi of Sciences and Telangana State Academy of Sciences.
