Arvind Raman is the John A. Edwardson Dean of the College of Engineering and Robert V. Adams Professor in Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University. He holds a courtesy appointment in Materials Engineering. His expertise spans nonlinear dynamics, vibrations, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and nanomanufacturing. Raman earned his B.Tech. from IIT Delhi (1991), M.S.M.E. from Purdue (1994), and Ph.D. from UC Berkeley (1999).
Research focuses on AFM applications in cell mechanics, MEMS/NEMS, and roll-to-roll manufacturing. Notable awards include the NSF CAREER Award (2002–2007), ASME Fellow (2012), and Robert V. Adams Chair (2013). His work bridges mechanical systems, nanotechnology, and biophysics, addressing challenges in materials characterization and sustainable manufacturing.
Raman’s grants include NSF-funded projects on AFM innovation and nanoscale material analysis. He leads the Raman Research Group, advancing dynamic AFM techniques and their industrial applications. Key contributions include multi-harmonic AFM for live cell analysis and vibration-based web tension measurement systems in manufacturing.
