Overview
Srirangacharyulu holds a Ph.D. from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras. His dissertation focused on developing exact and heuristic algorithms for scheduling problems with non-regular performance measures. He worked as a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow in the area of Flexible Manufacturing Systems for a short period at IIT Madras. He obtained a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and a Master’s degree in Industrial Engineering from Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati. Prior to joining his doctoral programme at IIT Madras, he worked for six years as Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at MVGR College of Engineering Vizianagaram. He has also worked as Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at National Institute of Technology (NIT) Calicut for one year and eight months. Prior to joining IIM Visakhapatnam, he was working with IIM Tiruchirappalli as Associate Professor in Operations Management & Quantitative Techniques area.
