Siva obtained his PhD (2011) from University of Toronto, MSc (Engg) (2005) from the Indian Institute of Science, and B.E (2002) from Andhra University, all in Mechanical Engineering. After completing his MS, Siva worked in GE Wind Energy group as a Mechanical Engineer where he carried out projects involving prototype testing of wind turbines and design of turbine components. After finishing the PhD, he worked as a postdoctoral research associate in School of Engineering at Brown University, and prior to joining Michigan State University, Siva was a faculty member at the New Jersey Institute of Technology from 2013 to 2019.
Siva Nadimpalli's research interests are in the broad area of experimental solids mechanics and fracture mechanics. His current research focus is to understand mechanical and electrochemical behavior of various battery electrode materials by using in situ experimental methods. He received the prestigious NSF CAREER award in 2017.
