aerospace engineering<\/a> Professor Subith Vasu. Kancherla says that UCF\u2019s location and its Center for Advanced Turbomachinery and Energy Research (CATER), housed within the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, factored into his decision to attend the university for his doctoral education.<\/p>\n\u201cUCF has been situated in a prime location where most of the major energy equipment manufacturers in the world are located, and CATER and the Vasu Lab have been significantly contributing to the cutting-edge research that is vital for these industries,\u201d Kancherla says. \u201cComing from a combustion background, I felt that Vasu\u2019s lab was the right place to pursue my Ph.D. and to advance in the ambitious gas turbine sector.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Vasu Lab was indeed the right place for Kancherla. Vasu himself is a leading expert in combustion and chemical kinetics and was even featured in the Combustion Man<\/em> documentary by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. The professor is also familiar with the Diliip Ballal award, having received it in 2017.<\/p>\n\u201cRaghu is an outstanding candidate for this award because of his tremendous achievements and contributions to advanced power generation concepts … that started when he was a Ph.D. student in my lab,\u201d Vasu says. \u201cHis and I receiving (of) this award is also a testament to UCF CATER\u2019s strong connections and interactions with the power generation industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
