Masters Student in Mechanical Engineering
Northern Illinois University, IL
Mr. Bhanu Sai Prakash Chikkavarapu, M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Graduate Research Assistant at Northern Illinois University, is a leading expert in indoor ozone filtration systems. With over five years of experience as a mechanical design engineer, he currently designs and develops test systems to investigate ozone interactions with activated carbon filters and catalysts. His research optimizes ozone removal efficiency under varying conditions such as flow rates, space velocities, and humidity, particularly in frigid environments, aiming to enhance air purification technologies with minimal pressure drop. Mr. Chikkavarapu’s work has significant implications for industries developing air purification systems, including electrostatic precipitators, indoor air purifiers, and HVAC systems, as well as advanced filtration for hospitals, commercial spaces, and industrial facilities to eliminate airborne viruses and improve air quality.
