Sathish Chandra Akula

Sathish Akula joined Florida Poly in the fall of 2024 as an assistant professor of computer science. His recent research has focused on the development of innovative augmented (AR) and virtual reality (VR) applications, machine learning algorithms, and climate models. His research has involved creating immersive simulations for education, as well as data-driven approaches to environmental science. Satish plans to continue addressing challenges in these fields, particularly in the integration of AR/VR technologies with machine learning and environmental modeling.
