Author Information

Dr. Anjaneyulu Yerramilli, Ph.D is presently working as visiting Professor in Chemistry/Environment at Jackson State University, Jackson, MS. During his career in India he amassed 35 years of research and teaching experience in Environmental/Energy technologies, 34 Ph.D students received Ph.D degrees under his supervision, he published more than 100 research papers in peer reviewed journals and presented at various international conferences. He has authored a number of books on Environmental Impact Assessment Methodologies (2011, BS Publications / CRC Press / Balkema), Introduction to Environmental Science (2005, BS Publications), and Hazardous Waste Management, Air Pollution and Control Technologies (2002, Allied Publishers). He has expertise in EIA, Energy Technologies, Risk Assessment and Air Pollution modeling. He is presently working as PI for two programs: i) a Department of Defense-sponsored program on High Performance Computation for Development of Novel Materials and ii) Atmospheric Dispersion Modeling of Gulf Coast, sponsored by NOAA, and as co-PI for a NSF-sponsored program on Collaborative Research CI-TEAM Demonstration Project entitled Water HUB for Cyber Enabled Training, Education, and Research in Water Resources. He has also published a number of papers on simulation of mesoscale coastal circulation of Gulf Coast for air pollution dispersion by integrating WRF, HYSPLIT, SMOKE and CMAQ models (http://chem.jsums.edu/anjaneyulu). Dr. Francis Tuluri holds a Ph.D in Physics, and has served as Associate Professor in the Department of Technology at Jackson State University since 2001. Prior to his service in USA, he was for more than two decades a faculty member at a reputed Engineering College in India where he taught several courses in Engineering Physics, Energy, Semiconductor Physics and Devices, Electronics and Computer technology and developed teaching methods utilizing technological teaching tools for pedagogy. His areas of research include Magnetic Resonance and Imaging, Liquid Crystals Display materials and devices, polymer electrolyte fuel cell membranes in fuel cells, environmental impacts of air pollution on air quality and health, and air quality modeling studies. He has published over 40 research papers in peer reviewed journals of high national and international standing. He holds certifications from NOAA and EPA in computer modeling simulations using HYSPLIT, WRF, CMAQ and SMOKE.
