About
Professor K.T. Ramesh is the Alonzo G. Decker, Jr., Professor of Science & Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. He was the founding Director of the Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute, as well as the Executive Director of the AI-X Foundry and Interim Co-Director of the Data Science and AI Institute at Johns Hopkins. His research directions are the broad areas of impact and failure of materials under extreme conditions, currently with specific interests in nanostructured materials, the massive failure of brittle solids, impact processes in planetary science, and traumatic brain injury. He has particular expertise in high strain rate experiments and in the physics-based modeling of dynamic failure processes. Professor Ramesh is a Fellow of AAAS, ASME, AAM, and SEM, and has received the Koiter Medal from ASME, and the Murray Medal from SEM, among other honors. He was President of the Society of Engineering Science in 2013. Professor Ramesh received his doctorate from Brown University in 1987. After a short stint as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, San Diego, he joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Johns Hopkins in 1988.
