Bio

Dr. Mini K. M. has joined Amrita School of Engineering, Coimbatore in the year 1996. She received her Ph. D. from Anna University and her research area was focused on the Application of Soft Computing in Structural Engineering.

She was the principal investigator of the All – India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) funded project, “Development and Scale – up of Plunging Hollow Jet and Venturi Aerator.” The aerator developed based on the project was successfully installed in the effluent treatment plant of Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Coimbatore. Apart from this, she also completed the Department of Science & Technology (DST) funded project, “Investigation of Compatibility between Portland Pozzolana Cement and Admixtures in High Performance Concrete.”as the principal investigator.

Presently Dr. Mini is the principal investigator for the project, “Development of High Volume Flyash Foam Concrete Wall Panel Using Rice Straw as Thermal Insulation Material” Initiative to Promote Habitat Energy Efficiency (I-PHEE) by Department of Science & Technology (DST). The project focuses on the development of an eco-friend and sustainable wall panel which can be used for thermal insulation in buildings.

She has several publications in referred international and national journals and in various conferences. She serves as reviewer for various referred international journals such as Construction and Building Materials , Journal of Sustainable Cement Based Materials, Structural Engineering and Mechanics, Steel & Composite Structures, Materials in Civil Engineering etc.
