Education

edit

Raman received his bachelor's degree in biology from Loyola College, Madras followed by a master's degree in biology from Presidency College, Madras, and PhD & DSc degrees in ecology from Madras University.[3] As a graduate student, he researched at the Université Louis Pasteur, France, on the nutritional physiology of gall-inducing Tubulifera.[4]

Research

edit

Raman received a Fulbright Award[3] in 1990 to work with Warren G. Abrahamson, of Bucknell University on population ecology and evaluated energetics using the Solidago–Rhopalomyia system.[5] Raman received a German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) grant[6] to study the aseptic dual culture technique using Pemphigus and its primary host Populus and secondary host Taraxacum, and hypersensitive responses among species of Vitis to infestations of Daktulusphairia vitifoliae.[7] Raman collaborated with Rolf Beiderbeck of Rurpecht–Karls Universität, to work on a protocol for raising plant‑feeding insects on aseptically‑grown tissue callus of its host plant, using the Trialeyrodes–Stellaria system.[8]

In 2000, he received the Ian Potter Foundation’s award[9] and visited the University of Nebraska, to evaluate the nutrient mobilisation in the moth-induced galls of the parthenium weed using stable isotope mass spectrometry.[9] Raman received an Australian Academy of Science fellowship[10] to visit the National Chung Hsing University, Taiwan to study the nutritional ecology of insects invading Machilus Thunbergii.[11][12] Raman was invited by the Indian National Science Academy (INSA), on a Vulimiri Ramalingaswami Fellowship,[13] through which he conducted workshops and training programs at Indian universities.[14][15]

Science history of Madras (Chennai) city and India

edit

Raman became interested in chronicling the growth of science in India, particularly that of Madras city, especially that occurred between 1650 and 1947 AD. Raman continues to publish articles related to science history, in professional journals, such as Current Science (Bangalore)[16][17][18][19][20]., Indian Journal of the History of Science (Indian National Science Academy), New Delhi),[21][22][23] Archives of Natural History (Edinburgh),[24] on diverse aspects of science pertaining to environment, medicine, chemistry, physics, mathematics, and engineering. His articles published in Current Science are archived here.
