Rate My Professor Suresh Thennadil

Thennadil's research specializations encompass waste-to-energy and value-added products, developing processes to convert bio and plastic wastes into energy, fuels like hydrogen, and other products via anaerobic digestion and pyrolysis. He focuses on control and optimization of renewable energy systems for grid stability and high renewable integration, as well as AI and data analytics for automation and optimization in chemical processes and power systems. He has led 16 research projects, including active ones such as the 2021 SURF 3 Renewable Energy Microgrid Hub for Applied Research and Training, 2021 Rainmaker Start-up on ARC Industry Transformation Training Centre for Advanced Manufacturing, and 2022 IAS Rainmaker Start-up on Viability of Carbon Capture in the NT. His contributions align with UN Sustainable Development Goals including affordable and clean energy, climate action, and industry innovation. Thennadil has produced 53 research outputs, featuring recent publications like 'Advancing Bromine Recovery: Solid-Phase Fixation During Calcium-Assisted Pyrolysis of TTBP–TAZ and TBBPA' (Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2026), 'A Review of Artificial Intelligence Techniques for Anomaly Detection in Smart Grid' (Artificial Intelligence Review, 2026), 'Cyber Attack Detection in Smart Grids: A Survey of Methods, Challenges and Future Directions' (Computer Science Review, 2026), and 'Development and Safety Evaluation of Sugar Painting Candies with Maltitol as a Sugar Substitute' (International Journal of Food Science and Technology, 2026). He is co-inventor of 10 patents on chemical process monitoring and medical diagnostics and delivered the 2015 Charles Darwin University Professorial Lecture on spectroscopy for process monitoring. His work has garnered 54 media items on green energy and fuel research.
