Ramamoorthy Ramesh

Ramamoorthy Ramesh is an American materials scientist of Indian descent who has contributed to the synthesis, assembly and understanding of complex functional oxides. In particular, he has worked on the fundamental science and technology translation of ferroelectric perovskites, manganites with colossal magnetoresistance, and multiferroic oxides with potential benefits for modern information technologies. To date, Ramesh has >675 publications with >100,000 citations, resulting in an h-index >150. He was named Citation Laureate for his research on multiferroics.
He was on leave from Berkeley in 2022, serving as the Executive Vice President for Research at Rice University, where he was also a professor in the Department of Materials Science and Nanoengineering and
the Department of Physics and Astronomy.
He has since returned to Berkeley as a Materials Science and Engineering professor.
