Bowen Professor of Physics in the department of physics and astronomy, and the director of the Clemson Nanomaterials Center at Clemson University. His research in nanoscience and nanotechnology has been cited over 30,000 times in open literature and his h-index is 72.{{R|"Scholar"}} In 2008 and 2011, he was elected as a fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, respectively. In 2012, he received the Alumni Award for Outstanding Achievements in Research, and has served on the Advisory Panel for the Dean and the Vice-President of Research, Clemson University. He established Clemson Nanomaterials Institute along with his longtime collaborator Dr. Ramakrishna Podila[1], which is stimulating sustainable research and development capacity and competitiveness in the U.S. state of South Carolina. The state of South Carolina conferred on him its highest honor - the 2014 Governor’s award for excellence in scientific research.{{R|"Worldclass"}} Rao is also an adjunct professor at the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning, India where he initiated a nanomaterials program, and directs research projects of M.S. and Ph.D. students. He has served as the chairman and organizer of several international conferences, including the Frontiers in Nano Science, Carbon 2010, & Nano 2010.{{citation needed|date=April 2018}} AccomplishmentsRao has developed a broad spectrum of technologies for spectroscopic characterization of nanocarbon allotropes, novel synthesis methods for controlling the morphologies of carbon nanotubes or CNTs, and scalable nano-manufacturing of CNT-based devices.{{R|"NSFaward"}} Rao's research has enhanced the field of carbon science and technology in terms of the discovery of novel phenomena in nanocarbon systems, device development for electronics,{{R|"Device"}} photonics,{{R|"Allcarbon"}} and drug delivery. This research is of primary interest to the South Carolina Research Authority, as many of his papers are in these fields of study. Rao's research includes the following topics:
Rao's Raman spectroscopic studies of fullerenes and CNTs have made Raman spectroscopy a tool in nanocarbon research. Some of Rao’s other breakthroughs include the synthesis and measurement of electrical and mechanical properties of nonlinear CNT morphologies, such as branched and helical CNT forms which exploit unique functionality at the nanoscale. His group demonstrated double decoupling – a new paradigm for thermoelectric devices with a high figure of merit and compatibility factor.{{R|"Researchers"}} Honors & awards
