Dr. Rallapalli Srinivas is presently working as an assistant Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering, BITS Pilani-Pilani Campus, Rajasthan (India). His research interests are watershed modeling and simulation, environmental hydrology, hydro-climatology, and fuzzy logic-based decision making. Before joining BITS, he worked at University of Minnesota (UMN) as a Postdoctoral researcher and course instructor, U.S.A and successfully completed a project namely developing a field-scale optimized watershed modeling framework. He obtained his M.E (Civil Engineering with specialization in Infrastructure Systems) from Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani in 2014, and B.E Hons. (Civil Engineering) and M.Sc. Hons. (Mathematics) from the same Institute in 2012. He was nominated by UMN Water Resources Center to represent the university at Michigan Data Science Symposium in 2019. He has also been invited to deliver keynote lectures at University of Michigan, University of Wisconsin, Iowa State University, National Resources Conservation Services (USA), Minnesota Association of Watershed Districts (USA) and Incessant Ganga Conference, Bihar Government (India).He has published over 30 papers in journals and conferences of international repute. Dr. Srinivas is a member of Soil and Water Conservation Society (USA), American Society of Civil Engineers, and the Institution of Engineers. For his research and teaching, he is actively collaborating with University of Minnesota, University of Wisconsin, Iowa State University and Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources. He is also a reviewer of leading journals such as Journal of Hydrology, Science of the Total Environment, Water Environment Research and Environmental Development and Sustainability. He has also done significant work on water quality modeling and simulation of River Ganga during his Ph.D. titled as 'Multi-criteria decision analysis and modeling for water quality management in Ganga river basin'.
