Biography
As a Distinguished Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, Professor Riman has been teaching for 25 years at both the undergraduate and graduate levels in the Department of Materials Science. He obtained his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Materials and Engineering and his B.S. degree in Ceramic Engineering from Rutgers University.
Professor Riman has extensive experience working with Federal agencies, companies, government laboratories and universities. He holds leadership roles in several professional societies and advises federal research organizations such as ONR, DARPA, ARPA-e and others on emerging materials technologies.
His entrepreneurial interests include most recently founding Solidia Technologies Inc., Piscataway, NJ, a company providing green manufacturing methods and construction materials for building and infrastructure applications.
Research
Professor Riman is focused on developing engineering principles for materials synthesis and processing of ceramics. His main interests are in low temperature green ceramic manufacturing processes to make materials that can match or improve upon those that require high temperature processing. His main areas of processing expertise are dispersion and particulate mixedness and solution crystallization of ceramics. His functional materials expertise extends primarily to structural ceramics, electroceramics, optics, and biomaterials.
