Research Interests
Prof. Devireddy is interested in a wide of
variety of biological phenomena at low temperatures with particular
emphasis on phase change phenomena. Current projects include
rational design of ovarian tissue cryopreservation protocols,
modeling of chemical transport processes in native and artificial
tissues, conservation of endangered species using biopreservation
techniques, biochemical (genetic) adaptations of uni- and
multi-cellular organisms to cold, laser-tissue interactions, and
design, development and characterization of microfabricated thermal
sensors and actuators for cryobiological applications.
Teaching Interests:
Prof. Devireddy is interested in teaching a wide
of variety of engineering and bioengineering courses, including
graduate courses on fluid dynamics and heat transfer (conduction and
radiation), undergraduate senior level courses on thermal system
design, advanced engineering thermodynamics, biological fluid flow
and heat transfer and principles of tissue engineering and junior
level undergraduate thermodynamics to both ME and non-ME students.
