Biography

Dr. Maillacheruvu graduated from I.I.T. Madras with a B.Tech. in Civil Engineering. After working briefly in India, he earned M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Civil and Environmental Engineering from University of Iowa.  After postdoctoral work at the University of Florida, Gainesville, Dr. Maillacheruvu taught at Polytechnic University, Brooklyn NY (now part of NYU). He joined Bradley University in 1997, where he is now Professor of Civil Engineering and Construction. Dr. Maillacheruvu’s research interests include biological treatment systems (aerobic and anaerobic), industrial waste treatment and reuse, mathematical modeling of environmental systems (water), and hazardous waste treatment and management, soil and groundwater clean up. He is currently working on electrokinetics-enhanced bioremediation, nutrient removal from wastewater and energy production from anaerobic processes. In addition to nearly 50 publications in national and international journals and conferences, Dr. Maillacheruvu has co-authored three books/book chapters in the field of environmental engineering.  Dr. Maillacheruvu serves as the Undergraduate Programs Coordinator, Academic Advisor for Civil Engineering undergraduates, Chair of the Teaching Excellence Committee, Chair of the Service Excellence Committee, and CEC Publicity. He also serves on several college and university committees. Maillacheruvu has also been involved in several community outreach activities such as the North-South Foundation, AIM for Seva, Easter Seals, Mentoring in District 150 schools, and others. Dr. Maillacheruvu served on the Water Environment Federation (WEF) Task Force on Clarifier Design and the WEF Task Force on Industrial Wastewater Management, in addition to serving on the Newtown Creek Technical Advisory Panel for the upgrade of a 330 MGD wastewater treatment plant in Brooklyn, NY.
