Research summary

Shriram Ramanathan studies materials that undergo sharp electrical, optical, or structural changes when triggered by heat, light, electric fields, or chemical doping, particularly transition-metal oxides like nickelates and vanadium dioxide. A major focus is applying these 'phase-change' materials to build brain-inspired (neuromorphic) computing devices, sensors, and photonic components that mimic neural switching and learning behavior. The work spans device fabrication, microscopy characterization, and testing new computing architectures based on these tunable materials.

Publication output has fluctuated over the past decade with peaks around 2018, 2021-2022, and 2024, showing an overall steady but variable pace rather than a clear upward or downward trend.
