Karthik Ram Ramakrishnan's research vision focuses on the development and characterization of future sustainable materials using data-rich experimental techniques to assess the effects of loading rates on damage and failure. His expertise lies in structures mechanics and thermography. Currently, he is a lecturer at the University of Bristol and the Principal Investigator of projects under the Marie Sklodowska Curie Individual Fellowship, particularly the FIDELITY project which centers on full-field damage assessment of composites under impact loading. His academic journey includes experience as a research associate at the Impact Engineering Laboratory at the University of Oxford and as a postdoctoral research fellow at Tampere University of Technology. Karthik obtained his PhD in 2014 through a joint Cotutelle agreement between the University of New South Wales, Australia, and Arts et Métiers Paristech, France. He has contributed significantly to the fields of composite materials, finite element modeling, and the dynamics of impact testing.
