Dr. Krishna is a Structural Engineering faculty member at AIT. He joined in late 2021 after completing his PhD and working as an assistant professor at the University of Tokyo.

Dr. Krishna’s expertise lies in understanding and providing engineering solutions to buildings subjected to earthquakes. His research covers topics like understanding how buildings get damaged during earthquakes, making buildings stronger to withstand earthquakes, and using math to manage disasters better.

He believes in solving engineering problems by considering both technical and social factors. Some of his accomplishments include creating affordable and user friendly ways to strengthen buildings against earthquakes and
