Latha's expertise is in modeling and design of direct-drive generators and coupled aeroelastic simulation of drivetrain systems. At NREL, she supports the drivetrain modeling effort under the Gearbox Reliability Collaborative, focusing on high-speed shaft and bearing loads analysis. Latha has also been investigating the dynamics of main bearings for three-point suspension systems. Her research experience is multidisciplinary and covers a range of topics, including hydrodynamic response modelling, electro-mechanical system design and optimization, structural analysis, and multi-body simulation. In addition, Latha holds industrial experience carrying out detailed design calculations for substation electrical equipment and power system analysis for industrial power plants.
