Dr. Sudharshan N. Raman was trained as a Civil Engineer, where he specialises in the area of Structures and Materials, with research interests in concrete engineering, structural resilience, and circular economy in construction. At present, he is an Associate Professor in the School of Engineering of Monash University Malaysia; where he also co-founded and jointly leads Monash University Faculty of Engineering’s multi-campus interdisciplinary Research Node, the Monash Construction Circularity Node (Monash-ConCerN). Dr. Raman completed his PhD at The University of Melbourne, Australia, with a focus in structural engineering and infrastructure protective technology. He has thus far led five external research grants from the Government of Malaysia; and has supervised ten (10) PhD and four (4) Master (by research) candidates to completion. Dr. Raman was the President of the Malaysian Chapter of the American Concrete Institute (Malaysia Chapter – ACI) for the 2018-2020 Session, and is currently serving as the Immediate Past President. He is a Fellow of the Chartered Association of Building Engineers (CABE), UK; a Professional Technologist with Malaysia Board of Technologists (MBOT); a Member of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE); a Member of American Concrete Institute (ACI); a Senior Member of RILEM, the Vice-President III of the Concrete Society of Malaysia (CSM); and a Committee Member of the Civil & Structural Engineering Technical Division of The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM). Dr. Raman is also an Adjunct Member of the Centre of Innovative Construction Technology (CICT) in the Faculty of Engineering, University of Malaya, Malaysia.
Over the years, Dr. Raman has built his reputation as a researcher in concrete structures and materials, and infrastructure protective technologies. He has served as a Reviewer for prestigious journals in Civil & Structural Engineering, and the Built Environment; and currently sits on the Editorial Boards of three international journals. Dr. Raman has also been involved with numerous consultancy projects in structural engineering and infrastructure resilience, within the public and private sectors, both locally and internationally.
Dr. Raman is also active in standards development activities, both locally and internationally. At present, he is serving in the following Technical Committees (TC) and Working Groups (WG) responsible for the drafting and development of Malaysian Standards under the Department of Standards, Malaysia (DSM) of the Malaysian Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI).
In addition, he is serving in the following Technical Committees under the American Concrete Institute (ACI).
Dr. Raman is currently inviting Graduate (Research) Candidates and Post-Doctoral Fellows to join the Structures Group at Monash University Malaysia.
