About myself  

Hi!  My name is Karthik Reddy Peddireddy. I am currently working at University of SanDiego. I did my doctoral studies at Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization, Göttingen, Germany. My doctoral thesis title is “Liquid Crystals in Aqueous Ionic Surfactant Solutions: Interfacial Instabilities & Optical Applications”.  I obtained my Master of Engineering in Chemical Engineering and Colloids, Polymers and, Surfaces (Dual degree) at  Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, USA.  I did my Bachelors in the field of Chemical Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)–Guwahati, one of the premier institutes for Engineering and Applied Sciences in India. This website contains information about my academic activities. 

Studying at reputed institutes such as IITG and CMU has not only given me a strong technical foundation but also has  instilled in me a passion for extensive research.

My personal belief is that every process has clearly defined concepts, objectives and follows a strong methodology. So, according to me  Chemical Engineering is all about perseverance and focus.
