Key details
Dr Pushparajah Rajaguru
Lecturer in Computer Science
He received his MPhil degree in computational mathematics from Salford and obtained his PhD in computational modelling at Greenwich in 2011. He was a research fellow in computational engineering in 2011 and then become a lecturer in industrial mathematics in 2013. In September 2022 he became a Lecturer in Computer Science.
Since 2011, he worked in many research and consultancy projects focusing on wide variety of application ranging from micro level structure such as microelectronic and power electronic modulus reliability modelling to macro level structure such as structural analysis of historic ships.
