She has contributed designing steel composite superstructures and substructures for bridges. Having completed masters krishnaveni worked as a bridge engineer in L&T Ramboll consulting,India for a couple of years working on metro rail projects. Krishnaveni completed her bachelors in civil engineering from Anna University,India and masters in structural Engineering from BITS Pilani,India. Krishnaveni researches on dynamics of various types of offshore floating platforms such as spar and semisubmersible, comparative study on multiline anchors forces with different types of offshore floating platforms, anchor force dynamics and mooring component design for offshore floating platforms. He hopes to use his experience in seabird ecology as he continues to investigate the relationships among species and their marine environment ultimately, Andrew would like to synthesize physical and biological data to develop marine ecosystem integrity maps to guide offshore wind energy development plans. Since completing his Alaska fieldwork, Andrew has shifted his focus to seabirds in the Gulf of Maine, working as the island supervisor of the Petit Manan Island seabird colony in the summer of 2011. With much of Kittlitz’s Murrelet ecology a mystery because of the species’ patchy distributions, and cryptic nesting behavior, Andrew devised a master’s project that focused on updating the Prince William Sound population estimate for this species, as well as investigating Kittlitz’s Murrelet habitat use, diet and foraging ecology. His work there included at-sea surveys for marine birds and mammals, and during this work he was introduced to the rare and declining Kittlitz’s Murrelet. After graduating from Connecticut College in 2007, Andrew worked as a research technician on a seabird project in Prince William Sound, Alaska.
