B. L. Ramakrishna
Dr. Ramakrishna is a faculty member in the Department of Plant Biology and the Director of Education and Outreach programs for the Center for Solid State Science in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at ASU. He in interested in the understanding at the nanoscale of biomineralization- an interdisciplinary field at crossroads of Biology and solid state Materials Science. He is deeply committed to integrate state-of-the-art research results into education and outreach in an effort to revitalize the curriculum, to convey the excitement at the research frontiers to the undergraduate curriculum and to infuse technology & telecommunications to bring about innovations in science and engineering education at all levels.
He received his Ph.D. in solid state chemistry from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, India in 1983 and has been at Arizona State University since 1985.
