Indu Venu Sabaraya

Indu Venu Sabaraya is a 5th year Ph.D. Student in Civil Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. Her current research focuses on the applications and transformation of novel two-dimensional nanomaterials in the aqueous environment. She has also been involved in several multi-disciplinary collaborative projects where the interactions of nanomaterials have been investigated from small-scale studies (preferential interaction of nanomaterials with viruses and biofilms) to large-scale proects (improving low-temperature properties of asphalt by addition of nanomaterials). She hopes to utilize her experience in materials science and environmental engineering to find solutions to emerging water quality challenges. She received her Master's degree in Environmental and Water Resources Engineering from UT Austin in 2016, following a Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering from R.V. College in Bangalore, India in 2014


Currently I am working on following projects:

» Transformation of hybrid nanomaterials and heterostructures in the aqueous environment.
» Role of nanomaterial dispersion in the enhancement of strength and rheological properties of asphalt.
» The influence of carbon nanotubes on the mechanical properties of P.aeruginosa biofilm.
