Dr Rajendran RavindarPostdoctoral Researcher
University College Dublin
Dr Ravindar Rajendran is a Research Scientist on the Acclimatize 2 project in the UCD School of Civil Engineering. His work focuses on developing, calibrating and validating hydrodynamic-water quality (HD-WQ) models to predict the transport and fate of microbial contaminants in Dublin Bay, particularly in wave-driven environments.
With over a decade of experience in coastal and ocean engineering, Dr Ravi brings a unique blend of industry and research expertise. An alumnus of IIT Madras, he has collaborated with leading global institutions, including University College London and Leibniz University Hannover, supported by prestigious research grants such as DAAD and SPARC.
His research interests lie in hydro-environmental modelling, nature-based solutions, coastal water quality, and digital transformation, aligning with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. He integrates fieldwork, experimental methods, and numerical modelling to develop sustainable and resilient water solutions.
This project has been part funded by the ERDF though the Ireland Wales Programme 2014 -2020.
