I am Kandula Uday kumar reddy, and I have been a research scholar at BITS-Hyderabad since November 2020. I obtained my B.Tech from Malla reddy engineering college in 2015 and master's degree from JNTU Hyderabad in 2019. My research focus is on the tribological behavior of polymers for biomedical (bio-implant) applications. My research interests also include polymer tribology, oral tribology, bio-implants and water lubrication.
