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, such as ferroelectric materials. In particular, he has worked on the development of ferroelectric perovskites, manganites with colossal magnetoresistance, and also on multiferroic oxides with potential benefits for modern information technologies.[citation needed]

He is 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]

Training and career

He joined Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in 2004 as a faculty scientist and became associate laboratory director (ALD) for energy technologies in 2014 with three divisions focused on energy technologies. After serving in the role for a few years, he assumed his role as professor at the University of California, Berkeley. Ramesh served as the founding director of DOE's SunShot Initiative and subsequently he also served in a leadership position at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.[citation needed]
