Engineering Projects

Dr. Praveen Karebasannanavar is a seasoned structural engineer with decade long of extensive experience in mechanical and civil engineering. He holds a PhD in materials engineering collaborated with the French Technical Centre of Mechanical Industries and The Open University in Milton Keynes - England, where he specialized in residual stress of polymer composites. His doctoral research has given him a deep understanding of composite material behaviour in structural engineering.

Dr. Karebasannanavar's expertise spans in automotives, residential and commercial structures, with a focus on structural integrity assessments: fatigue, residual stress measurement, and polymer composites. His advanced knowledge and hands-on experience make him a leading expert in these critical areas of stress analysis in structural engineering.
