Dr. Ramasubramanian joined the department in 2012 as D. W. Reynolds Distinguished Professor and Department Chair. He also holds a joint appointment with Bioengineering. Prior to arriving at Clemson, he was the lead program director for the IGERT program at the National Science Foundation from 2009-2012 as an IPA from NC State University, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering where he built his academic career rising through the ranks from 1994-2012. From 1987-1994, he was a Research Associate in Corporate R&D, James River corporation (now, Georgia-Pacific Corporation). His research interests are strongly interdisciplinary to include mechanics of manufacturing processes and short fiber composites; bio-manufacturing and tissue engineering including microfluidics; biomimetic materials and systems; mechatronics; and biomedical devices. He is a Fellow of ASME, TAPPI, AIMBE, and a Senior Member of IEEE and EMBS.
