About

Praveen C. Ramamurthy is a leading figure in materials science and engineering, with a focused expertise in electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and microwave absorption. His research centers on developing advanced composite materials that address critical challenges in electronic waste and signal pollution. Ramamurthy’s major contributions include pioneering the use of industrial waste fly ash cenospheres—hollow, lightweight microspheres—as functional fillers in polymer composites. His seminal work, "Industrial waste fly ash cenosphere composites based broad band microwave absorber" (2017, 91 citations), demonstrated how these waste-derived materials can be engineered into efficient, broadband microwave absorbers, offering a sustainable solution for stealth technology and wireless communication. Complementing this, his study on "Electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness of polyaniline-nickel oxide coated cenosphere composite film" (2017, 75 citations) showcased a novel approach to creating conductive, lightweight films with superior shielding performance. By transforming industrial byproducts into high-value functional materials, Ramamurthy has not only advanced the science of EMI shielding but also promoted circular economy principles. His work has garnered significant attention, with these two papers alone accumulating over 160 citations, reflecting their impact on both academic research and practical applications in defense, electronics, and environmental sustainability.
