Ramamoorthy Ramesh (born 1960) 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.[citation needed] To date, Ramesh has >675 publications with >100,000 citations, resulting in an h-index >150. He was named Citation Laureate (Thomson Reuters) for his research on multiferroics (2014).
He is currently on leave from Berkeley, serving as the Executive Vice President for Research at Rice University, where he is also a professor in the Department of Materials Science and Nanoengineering and the Department of Physics and Astronomy.[citation needed]
