Greeshma Gadikota
Assistant Professor: Civil and Environmental Engineering
Dr. Greeshma Gadikota is an Assistant Professor and Croll Sesquicentennial Fellow in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering in the College of Engineering, where she directs the Sustainable Energy and Resource Recovery Group. One thread of her research involves using X-ray scattering, tomography, and spectroscopy techniques to observe chemical reactions as they happen, possibly allowing researchers to develop a method of producing hydrogen without creating greenhouse gases. More broadly, Gadikota would like to develop a method for observing the reaction environments for any solid-liquid-gas system. Gadikota is also studying the feasibility of pulling acid gases from dilute and heterogeneous gas streams and understanding how reactive fluids and solids behave in extreme subsurface and engineered environments. Prior to Cornell, Dr. Gadikota served on the faculty at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and was a postdoctoral research associate at Princeton University and Columbia University, with a research appointment at the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST).
