| Bio: |
Ram Seshadri received his PhD in 1995 from the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore. After some years as a post-doctoral fellow in Caen, France, and in Mainz, Germany, he joined the faculty of the Indian Institute of Science in 1999. He moved to the Materials Department, UCSB in 2002 as an Assistant Professor, was promoted to Associate Professor in 2006, and to Professor in 2008. Since Fall 07, he has also an been a member of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. Ram's research is on structure - composition - property relationships in inorganic materials. |

Current
Research
The research currently being pursued in the Seshadri Group
addresses magnetic phenomena in insulating oxides, half-metallic
ferromagnetism, magnetic nanocomposites, catalytic oxides
and carbides, the structure
and electronic structure of polar and semiconducting materials
materials (bulk as well as nano), luminescent materials for
solid state lighting, high refractive index materials, and
conducting nanowires.
