Sudarsan Rachuri

Dr. Sudarsan Rachuri is a computer scientist in the Life Cycle Engineering Group in the Systems Integration Division  at NIST. His primary objectives at NIST are to develop and transfer knowledge to industry about information models for sustainable manufacturing, green products,  assembly representation, system level analysis, and tolerance representation.  Specific focus is on identifying integration and technology issues that  promote industry acceptance of information models, product  representation standards, system level tolerance analysis and open  architecture that will enable designers to develop products that  are sustainable and manufactured globally in a distributed and  collaborative environment.

Dr. Rachuri is an ASME Fellow, having been elected in 2012 for his significant contributions in the areas of information and semantic modeling of product life cycle management, and the application of measurement  science for sustainable manufacturing.

Dr. Rachuri's primary areas of interest are Sustainable Manufacturing, Green Engineering, Long Term Digital Archiving, Scientific Computing, CAD/CAM/CAE, Design for Sustainability, Object-Oriented Modeling, and Ontology.
