Dr A. Rama Mohan Rao obtained his doctoral degree on high-performance computing techniques for nonlinear dynamic analysis from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. He joined CSIR-SERC, Chennai as a scientist in 1989 (after working nearly for a decade in the design and construction sector) and rose to the position of chief scientist. Currently, he heads the Structural Health Monitoring Laboratory at CSIR-SERC. He is also a professor at the Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR) and has taught several advanced courses for M.Tech., and PhD., students. He was co-editor of the Journal of Structural Engineering from 2004-2007, and was an editorial board member for all the International Conferences on Parallel, Distributed, Grid and Grid Computing for Engineering (PARENG 2009 to 2017) held in various European locations between 2009 and 2017. His research interests include computational structural mechanics; high-performance computing; structural system identification, control and health monitoring; nature-inspired computing, systems engineering; and combinatorial optimization. He has authored more than 85 peer-reviewed papers spread over 52 journals, as well as several conference papers and technical reports related to sponsored research and consultancy projects. He is a life member of several professional bodies, and was awarded a UNDP fellowship for the year 1994-1995. He was a member of the team that won the CSIR-Technology prize in 1999 for scientific contributions to the development of advanced computational methodologies, modelling techniques and software for analysis and design of complex structures. He was also received an award for "excellence in high-performance cluster computing" from Sun Microsystems in February 2004. He was also a visiting research scientist at the University of Berkeley, California, USA, Cornell University, Ithaca, USA and University College of Wales, Swansea, UK in 1994-1995.
