About the editors
Priyadarsini RS completed her Engineering Education at the University of Kerala and IIT Madras. Soon after her studies, she joined IIT Madras in 1999 as a Senior Project Officer and worked in the development of IS 800:2007 and also in developing the teaching and learning materials for steel-concrete composite structures. She joined the University of Kerala as Assistant Professor in 2000. She is currently working as a Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the College of Engineering, Trivandrum, Kerala. She is a Recipient of the Shree Gaythree Devi Award with Gold Medal 2012 from IIT Madras. Her major research areas are advanced composite structures, steel-concrete composite structures, steel and RC structures, structural stability, smart structures, and numerical modeling. She has over 30 publications in journals and conferences of national and international repute. She is a Member of several professional bodies such as the Institution of Engineers, India, Aeronautical Society of India, ISTE, ISAMPE, and Society for Small Satellite Systems.T Sundararajan is an expert aerospace structural dynamics professional, having three decades of experience at Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), the Indian Space Research Organization. As Associate Program Director of Space Transportation Systems, he leads a resourceful team of young and experienced engineers to deliver domain-specific solutions for various needs of India’s launch vehicles. He earned his Ph.D. from the Faculty of Engineering and Technology, University of Kerala. Earlier in his career, he groomed an ace team of engineers for the dynamic characterization of ongoing and future aerospace systems/launch vehicles. His penchant to adopt state-of-the-art developments in science/technology and update professional knowledge made his foray into the realm of AI & ML for structural dynamic characterization/model updating and operation modal analysis. He has immensely contributed to enhancing indigenous finite element method-based software by way of pan-national collaboration with leading national research and academic institutions. Despite the demanding professional schedule requirements, he carves out time to engage in academic guiding and mentoring of master's and doctoral degree scholars. He has more than 40 peer-reviewed journal and conference papers to his credit.
