Dr. Ramesh joined the faculty at the University of Maryland in 1995. His current work and research interests include transmission electron microscopy and materials science of complex oxide thin film materials, growth mechanisms in oxide thin films pulsed laser deposition of ferroelectric and magnetic oxide thin films, nanoscale phenomena in these materials, broadband dynamics in ferroic materials and information storage technologies. With over 250 publications, more than 8000 citations, 15 patents issued and 11 pending, his work is recognized worldwide. He is among the top 500 researchers cited in Physics, and in 2001, he received the Humboldt Senior Scientist Award from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation as well as Fellowship into the American Physical Society. Ramesh also received the A. James Clark College of Engineering Faculty Outstanding Research Award.

Ramesh is a professor in material sciences engineering, and
physics. He is also the associate director for the Materials
Research Science and Engineering Center. He carried
out his undergraduate studies in Metallurgy at the Indian Institute
of Science, Bangalore,
INDIA and graduated from the University of California, Berkeley
with a M.S. and Ph.D. in Materials Science in 1987.
It is his thesis work that led to the identification of the reversal
mechanism in Fe-Nd-B magnets
and the subsequent design of permanent magnets
with superior performance. His work at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory,
the next
year led
to pioneering research on high temperature superconductors and
the identification of the 110k superconducting
phase in the bismuth cuprate system. He later joined Bellcore and
initiated
research
in key technology areas including ferroelectric nonvolatile
memories.
