Bakshi Srinivasa Rao is currently a post-doctoral researcher in the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering at Florida International University. He has completed his Ph.D. from FIU in August, 2009. He obtained his B. E. degree in Metallurgical Engineering from the National Institute of Technology, Rourkela, India in 2001. He completed his Masters (M.E.) in Metallurgy from Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India in 2003. He worked as Scientific Officer 'C' in Bhabha Atomic Research Center (2003-2005), where his main area of interest was thermo-physical properties of advanced control rod materials. His main research interest is synthesis and characterization of CNT reinforced aluminum composites prepared by thermal spraying, vis. plasma, and cold spraying. His research focuses on effecient dispersion of CNTs using spray drying, the quantification of CNT dispersion, thermodynamic and kinetic analysis of the interfacial reaction between CNT and matrix, both macro- and nano-mechanical, nano-tribological and thermo-physical property measurement of the composites. He has published 23 papers in peer reviewed journals. He is a recipient of many awards and scholarships, like Presidential Enhanced Assistantship (2005-2008) and Dissertation Year Fellowship (2008-2009) from the Florida International University and GE - Fund Scholarship (2001-2002). He has also won awards at materials science based quiz competitions and was a team member of the winning team of the first TMS Materials Bowl in 2007.
