About
Bhanuprakash Kosaraju develops low-cost, open-source sensor systems for environmental monitoring, with a focus on uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) deployments. His major contributions center on the design and integration of lightweight, low-power fluorometers for real-time water quality assessment. In his most cited work, he describes a waterproof, 1.3 kg chlorophyll fluorometer operating on 5 V DC and consuming only ~1.1 W, deployed on a small uncrewed aircraft system (sUAS) to trigger intelligent water sampling. This work has garnered 8 citations. A closely related paper (7 citations) demonstrates the use of an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense board—a 64 MHz controller with built-in sensors—for fluorometer control, analog-to-digital conversion, and Robot Operating System (ROS) communications. Together, these contributions showcase Kosaraju’s ability to bridge embedded systems, robotics, and environmental science, enabling autonomous, real-time monitoring of harmful algal blooms and other aquatic phenomena. His work is notable for its emphasis on accessibility, reproducibility, and field-ready design, making advanced sensing tools practical for researchers and environmental managers alike.
