Thereafter, he held the Homi Bhabha chair at the Inter-University Accelerator Center, New Delhi till 2009 when he took up the post of the director at the National Institute of Advanced Studies, Bengaluru. On his retirement in 2014, he was made the Emeritus Professor of the institute.[2] He was also associated with the Recruitment and Assessment Board of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research as the chairman[3] and chaired the standing advisory group on nuclear applications of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).[7] Legacy and achievementsRamamurthy was a member of the team which designed the Smiling Buddha project for carrying out the first Indian nuclear experiment at Pokhran on 18 May 1974.[3] During his stint as the director of the Institute of Physics, he was the leader of the atomic and molecular clusters and low energy accelerator project and contributed to the setting up of the 3 MV accelerator centre at the institute.[3] He was also involved in the high energy nuclear physics programme using the heavy ion accelerators at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva.[3] His researches covered the theoretical and experimental aspects of Nuclear fission physics and he is credited with advanced research on nuclear shell effects,[8] nuclear level densities[9] and pre-equilibrium fission and sub-barrier fusion dynamics.[3] His researches have been documented by way of several articles published in peer reviewed journals[10] and a book, Nuclear Radiation Detectors, released in 1986.[11] He has also written on the sociological aspects of science and technology.[12] Selected Bibliography
