ELECTRON MICROSCOPY, Krishna
Rajan holds joint appoints in the School of Engineering as Professor
of Materials Science and Faculty of Information Technology as Professor
of Materials Informatics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. After
receiving his doctorate in 1978 from the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology in Materials Science he held a research appointment at
MIT and at the Metallurgy and Materials Science Department at Cambridge
University until 1980. From 1980-87 he was staff scientist at the
National Research Council of Canada. In 1987, he joined the faculty
at Rensselaer being appointed as a full professor in 1993. Professor
Rajan has published over 170 publications, edited eight monographs
and presented over 200 scientific lectures nationally and internationally. He has received the Lilly Endowment Teaching Fellowship, AMAX Foundation Research Fellowship, the ASM International Visiting Lecture Award , NRC /NAE E. Europe Fellowship and most recently a CNRS Visiting Professorship in France. He has held numerous visiting appointments internationally including the Max-Planck Institute Stuttgart, University of Auckland, University of Wollongong, Australia, the Slovak Academy of Sciences and University of Rennes , France. Professor Rajan also serves as the editor for Materials Science and Engineering for the McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, and is on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Engineering Failure Analysis. Dr. Rajan research interests focus on the microstructural aspects of materials science with a major effort in the applications of high resolution electron microscopy. Professor Rajan’s research extends into coupling new developments in computer and mathematical sciences into combinatorial materials science and informatics. Based on these efforts he has established the first academic program in materials informatics and combinatorial materials science in a major Materials Science department in the United States. Professor Rajan’s other activities related to this field include:
