Profile of the instructor

Dr Kadapa is an Associate Professor in Mechanical Engineering at Edinburgh Napier University. He joined Edinburgh Napier University as a Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering in August 2022. Prior to joining ENU, he worked as a Lecturer at the University of Bolton from December 2020 to July 2022. Dr Kadapa has a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Swansea University for which he received the prestigious Zienkiewicz scholarship. After his PhD, he worked as a research officer and Research Software Engineer on several industry- funded projects in computer modelling and simulation at Swansea University. Dr Kadapa is active member of the UKACM board and ASME UK Section leadership team.
He is also a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA). He taught various
undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Mechanical Engineering at Swansea and Bolton. Currently, he teaches UG and PG courses at ENU. Dr Kadapa's research work focusses on cutting-edge simulation techniques for multi-physics
problems in solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, fluid-structure interaction and electro- magneto-mechanics. He proposed state-of-the-art simulation frameworks for fluid-structure interaction, incompressible solid mechanics, electromechanics, magnetomechanics and morphoelasticity. His expertise also includes research software development for FEA, CFD and Multiphysics, including parallelisation for HPC. He published 30 + journal papers in prestigious international journals. For his contributions to the field of computational engineering, Dr Kadapa received the inaugural Jason Reese early-career researcher award from the UK Associate for Computational Mechanics in 2025. Dr Kadapa currently leads a £1.24M multidisciplinary project by the Engineering and Physical Sciences research council (EPSRC) of the UK. This project focuses on developing a custom, experimentally validated simulation framework for magnetoactive polymers and their interaction with fluids in confined spaces such as vasculature for applications in soft robotics.
