Shripad Revankar

Shripad Revankar is a Professor in the Department of Nuclear Engineering at Purdue University's College of Engineering. His research focuses on advanced nuclear reactor design, reactor safety, two-phase flow and heat transfer, and renewable energy systems. He holds a Ph.D. in Physics from Karnatak University (1983), an M.Eng. in Nuclear Engineering from McMaster University (1982), and earlier degrees from Karnatak University.

His notable contributions include work on molten salt reactors, accident-tolerant fuels, and hydrogen generation technologies. He has been awarded Fellowships from the American Nuclear Society (ANS), ASME, and AAAS, reflecting his significant impact in nuclear engineering and energy science.

Revankar’s recent research emphasizes safety-critical reactor systems, including thermal-hydraulic analysis and severe accident mitigation. His work on betavoltaic power sources and PEM fuel cells bridges nuclear and renewable energy domains. He has authored over 200 publications and holds patents in advanced nuclear materials, such as ceramic-ceramic composites for reactor fuels.
