Dr. C.S. Ramesh obtained his PhD in Metallurgical Engineering with academic distinction from Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, Chennai, India, in 1992 in the area of composite coatings with Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering from U.V.C.E, Bangalore and Masters in Metal Casting from Bangalore University. He has over 22 years of experience in teaching and research. His current research interests are thermal spray coatings, metal matrix composites, finite element methods related to bio-implants. Being passionate about research, he has executed projects of national and international importance funded by several government and private agencies such as Naval Research Board, Aeronautical Research Board, Combat Vehicles Research & Development Establishment, Department of Science & Technology, Indian Space Research Organisation, GE- India, Allegion, BHEL, and AICTE. A state-of-the-art facilities in rapid prototyping, metal forming, tribology, thermal spray & CAE has been setup by him at PESIT, Bangalore. He has contributed over 150 papers in international, national journals & conferences, 05 book chapters and authored 06 technical reports. He has to his credit guided 14 PhDs and over 50 postgraduate students. Recognizing the research activities, Government of Karnataka has conferred Dr. Ramesh with Professor Satish Dhawan Award for Young Engineers for Outstanding Contribution to Engineering Science in 2008. He received the Best Research Publication Award by Vision Group of Science & Technology, Karnataka, 2010 and Sudharshan Bhat Award from IIT Madras, 1992, for Best PhD thesis. Under Fusion Fund International Exchange Programme Prof. Ramesh was a Visiting Professor at School of Design, Engineering & Computing, Bournemouth University, UK (2012).
