Dr. Eswaraiah Chinthapudi obtained his B.Tech. in Chemical Engineering from S.V. University, Tirupati, and subsequently received his M.Tech. and Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur and Indian Institute of Technology Madras, respectively. Prior to joining CSIR-IMMT as a scientist, he worked as a project officer at IIT Madras in a BHEL sponsored project. He worked as a CSIR-Quick Hire Fellow during the year 2006-2007 at CSIR-IMMT. Currently, he is a senior principal scientist in the Mineral Processing Department at CSIR-IMMT, Bhubaneswar, and a professor of Engineering Sciences, AcSIR. He has more than 15 years of R&D and teaching experience in the area of mineral processing. During his tenure, he has been involved in several projects as a project leader/team member and made commendable contributions to the mineral and metallurgical process industries. He has developed several beneficiation processes for low-grade ore fines and slimes, which has led the industries to produce the quality of raw materials required for steel production. He has published over 50 research articles in national/international journals and conferences to his credit. His area of specialization is advanced particulate processing, modelling, and simulation. In recognition of his outstanding contributions in particulate processing, he has been awarded several prestigious awards from various organizations/professional societies. He is a fellow of the Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers (FIIChE), a fellow of the Institution of Engineers (India) (FIE), and a member of several professional societies. He was awarded Indian National Science Academy (INSA) Fellowship to work at CSIRO, Brisbane, Australia, for one year. He also worked as a senior researcher at the University of Lorraine, Nancy, France, for 12 months. Currently, he is working on an energy-efficient dry beneficiation process development to
