Biography
Dr. Bhavani Kumar Yellapragada presently works as Scientist SG at the National Atmospheric Research Laboratory (NARL), a unit of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), India. Dr. Kumar has made significant technical contributions to laser remote sensing instrumentation for environmental research in India. Some of these technologies have been transferred to Indian industries for commercialization. These technologies have been employed to remote-sense atmospheric boundary layer, aerosol, clouds, water vapor, winds, and mesospheric Sodium. His works were recognized by ISRO and conferred with ISRO's prestigious Merit Award in 2017. Dr. Kumar has published 104 publications. He has two IPRs granted with patent status listed under ISRO. Currently, he is listed as an expert member under VIDWAN, an MHRD initiative of the Government of India. Dr Kumar is a recognized Mentor of SRF programme of three national science Academies of India. Under this program he mentored 16 M.Tech students an
