Greetings! I am Prof. Konireddy Hemachandra Reddy , a Mechanical Engineering Professor with 33 years of experience in teaching, research, and educational administration at JNT University Anantapur. My career has been driven by a genuine passion for student learning and institutional development.

I have held leadership roles such as Chairman, APSCHE, Registrar JNTUA, Director Academic & Planning JNTUA, Principal of JNTUA College of Engineering Pulivendula, Placement Officer, and TEQIP Nodal Officer JNTUA College of Engineering, Anantapur. These positions enabled me to lead reforms in curriculum, governance, rankings, industry-connect, and NEP-2020 implementation across Andhra Pradesh.

My research spans Computational Fluid Dynamics, Heat Transfer, Internal Combustion Engines, and sustainable engineering materials. I have published 140+ technical papers, guided 40 Ph.D. scholars, and hold 3 patents. Google Scholar Metrics: Citations 5338, h-index 31, i10-index 75.

A Paul Harris Fellow and active Rotarian, I strongly believe in community engagement and student social responsibility.
