One Community welcomes Hemanth Kotaru to the Engineering Team as our newest Volunteer/Consultant!
Structural Engineer: Hemanth is a Structural Engineer and a research enthusiast pursuing independent research studies. Currently a Master’s Student in Structural and Earthquake Engineering from the University of California at Los Angeles, Hemanth’s fields of interest include FEA, Earthquake Hazard Mitigation, Structural Mechanics, Computational Tools for Civil Engineering, and Alternative Building Methods. Before his Master’s, Hemanth worked as a developer for GIS software and also worked as a research intern during his bachelors. Hemanth’s interest towards Sustainability stems from a concern for nature and inspiration from ancient constructions. Observing the sustainability and performance of several ancient architectural wonders over centuries, he was inspired to explore, understand and improvise the ancient construction procedures to modern requirements. As part of this, Hemanth joined the One Community team as a researcher for the Earthbag Village, helping conduct detailed research and calculations to answer the most challenging questions related to this construction method.
