Dr. Yail Jimmy Kim, P.Eng., F.ACI, Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, University of Colorado Denver, USA and Dr. John W. Van de Lindt, Ph.D., F. ASCE, F. SEI Harold H. Short Endowed Chair Professor Co-Director, Center for Risk-Based Community Resilience Planning Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado, USA, for collaborative studies in two thrust areas of Civil Engineering.
Dr. Shenoy had discussions with Dr. Yail Jimmy Kim, who is actively involved in the research related to Composite Materials and Smart Structures, on the possibility of academic association in the research work being carried out in the Civil Engineering Department of Sahyadri in the similar field.
At the Sahyadri Research Centre Mr. Sunil Kumar, Mr. Shishirkrishna and Mrs. Deepthishree Aithal are carrying out their research work in laminated composite panels and corrugated sheets. Dr. Kim looks forward to possible collaborative opportunities with Sahyadri.
In another meeting with Dr. John W. Van de Lindt, Dr. Shenoy exchanged his views on Sensors, Instrumentation and Similitude studies on the behaviour of structures during earthquakes. This is the field of research taken up by Mrs. Smitha, Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering. Dr. John also has expressed his keen interest in associating with Sahyadri.
