Suresh Dhaniyala Receives Tenure & Promotion to Associate Professor at Clarkson University

Potsdam, NY | Posted on March 5th, 2008

Dhaniyala has been a faculty member in the Department of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering at Clarkson since 2002. His research interests are in the fields of nanoparticle characterization, aerosol instrumentation, aircraft-based aerosol sampling, and aerosol-cloud interactions.

Dhaniyala and his group are working on developing several next-generation instruments for improved real-time characterization of submicron aerosol and nanoparticles. These instruments, in combination with modeling efforts, are being used to better understand the effect of particles on human health and global climate.

Dhaniyala has received more than $1.2 million in funding from several agencies including, the NSF, NYSERDA, NASA, the U.S. Navy and the EPA. Dhaniyala's dual commitment to research and teaching has been recognized by the CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation. He has also received Clarkson University's John W. Graham Jr. Faculty Research Award.

Prior to joining Clarkson, Dhaniyala was a post-doctoral scholar in Chemical Engineering at California Institute of Technology. He received his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the University of Minnesota (1998) and has a master of science degree from the University of Delaware (1994), and a bachelor of technology degree from the Indian Institute of Technology in Madras, India (1992).

Dhaniyala is a director on the board of the American Association for Aerosol Research (AAAR). He also served as the education committee chair and tutorial chair in AAAR in 2005 and 2006, respectively. He serves as the faculty advisor for Clarkson's AAAR student chapter.

Dhaniyala resides with his wife, Supraja, and daughters, Saanvi and Saadhika, in Potsdam.
