Professor Ramkrishna has a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from University of Minnesota in 1965. Currently he is the Harry Creighton Peffer Distinguished Professor of Chemical Engineering. Professor Ramkrishna's research group is motivated by ideas in the application of mathematics to solving problems in chemical and biochemical reaction engineering. Their research ideas arise from linear (operator methods) and nonlinear analysis of ordinary and partial differential equations, stochastic processes, and population balance modeling involving integro-partial differential equations. Current research is on the development of a dynamic framework for metabolic engineering using cybernetic models with a view towards applications to the production of bio-fuels such as ethanol from biomass, development of population balance models for the evolution of crystal forms in crystallizers, and in modeling cancer therapy with specific focus on Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. He also has over 200 research paper publications and two books.
