Sriramya Duddukuri Nair

Sriramya Duddukuri Nair is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at Cornell University. Her research focuses on advancing cementitious materials for infrastructure, energy, and automated construction. Her group studies how composition, processing, and field conditions influence the fresh-state behavior, placement, and hardened properties of cement-based materials, with emphasis on alternative cementitious materials, subsurface well cementing for geothermal and other applications. Her work explores the impact of these factors on the performance of cement-based materials in various environments.

Sriramya Duddukuri Nair is a researcher at Cornell University specializing in Infrastructure Materials, Subsurface Cementing, and 3D Printing with Concrete. Their work focuses on developing advanced cementitious materials for geothermal and oil and gas applications, with an emphasis on improving zonal isolation, well abandonment, and lost circulation control. Nair's research explores smart cement-based materials, including magnetorheological cements and geopolymer-synthetic based mud hybrid cements, to enhance real-time control and monitoring of cementing operations. They also investigate the behavior of cement-shale bond strength and the impact of non-aqueous drilling fluids on cement hydration and contamination.
