Shivuday Kala

Dr. Shivuday Kala is a Lecturer in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Clemson University's College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences. His research focuses on aerosol science, particle sizing, and multiphase flow dynamics.

• Education: Ph.D. and M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Clemson University (2023, 2019), B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Delhi Technological University (2015)

Research interests include Aerosol Science with emphasis on particle deposition mechanisms, Spray Analysis for industrial and environmental applications, and Multiphase Flow Modeling for phase change and droplet dynamics. His work investigates factors affecting inertial impactor performance through experimental and computational approaches.

Recent publications analyze humidity effects on particle elasticity, scaling laws in ring-shaped deposition patterns, and melting dynamics of suspended ice particles. These works span fluid dynamics, materials science, and thermal engineering, with applications in environmental monitoring and industrial processes.
