Overview

Nimmy Mariam Abraham graduated with a Master of Science in Civil Engineering from Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore subsequent to a Bachelor of Technology degree in Civil Engineering from TKM College of Engineering, Kollam, India. She has worked as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences, Bangalore, India.

Nimmy joined the Vibration Engineering Section at the University of Exeter in September 2019 to pursue her PhD under the supervision of Prof. Stana Zivanovic and Prof. Genevieve Williams. Her studies focus on understanding how active humans perceive and interact with vibrating structures. She uses the VSimulator and Exeter Bridge facilities at Exeter Science Park for her research.
