Biography
Rama Venkatasubramanian, PhD, is director of the Center for Solid State Energetics at RTI. He founded Nextreme Thermal Solutions, an RTI spin-off. Dr. Venkatasubramanian holds several thermoelectric patents and has several patents pending. He has written over 110 peer-reviewed publications and presentations in thermoelectric materials and devices, photovoltaic materials and devices, optoelectronic materials, and other solid-state devices, and has chapters in Recent Trends in Thermoelectrics–Semiconductors and Semimetals and Thermoelectrics–Micro to Nano. Dr. Venkatasubramanian initiated and developed a research program in thermoelectric materials and devices at RTI. His work in atomically engineered superlattice materials resulted in the most significant thermoelectrics breakthrough in the last 40 years. His current focus is to transition this superlattice technology to advanced cooling systems, electronics thermal management, and power conversion systems. Under his leadership, the RTI thermoelectrics program has published in Nature (2001) and won several awards, including the R&D 100 Award (2002). Read More…
