Earlier Biography:
Dr. K.K. Viswanathan was born in 1962 in Kodakkal Village of Vellore District, Tamil Nadu, India. He received his B.Sc. in Mathematics from University of Madras in 1989 and later his M.Sc. (Applied Mathematics) from Anna University, Chennai, India in 1992 and Ph.D. from the Anna University, with Prof. P.V. Navaneethakrishnan, in 1999. Later he joined the Department of Aerospace Engineering, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, as a Project Associate for one year. He has been working as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Mathematics, Crescent Engineering College, Vandalur, Chennai, India since June 2000. At present he is working as a Post doctoral Research Scientist (BK21 Scientist) with Prof. Sang-Kwon Lee, in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Acoustics and Noise Signal Processing Laboratory, Inha University, Incheon, Korea. His current areas of interest include vibration of composite plates and shells, numerical methods and its applications. [Now Professor K.K. Viswanathan is at the University of Technology, Malaysia.]
