Professor Murty received B.Tech. (Civil Engineering) and M.Tech. (Civil Engineering with specialization in Structural Engineering) degrees from Indian Institute of Technology Madras, India, and Ph.D. degree with specialization in Earthquake Engineering from California Institute of Technology, USA. Currently, he P. S. Rao Institute Chair Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at IIT Madras. He teaches nonlinear structural analysis and ductile design of reinforced concrete and steel buildings and bridges. His primary R&D interest is nonlinear earthquake behavior of buildings and bridges towards developing displacement-based and energy-based earthquake-resistant designs.
