Prior to that he was head of department at [[Indian Institute of Technology Madras]]<ref name="Department of Metallurgical and Materials">{{Cite web |url=https://mme.iitm.ac.in/?p=385 |title=Department of Metallurgical and Materials |date=2017 |publisher=IIT Madras}}</ref> and professor at [[Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur]].<br />
<br />
==Early life and education==<br />
Murty was born on 13 February 1964 in [[Vijayawada, India]]. He did his diploma in [[metallurgical engineering]] from Government Polytechnic, Vijayawada. He graduated B.Tech. in metallurgical engineering from Visvesvaraya Regional College of Engineering, Nagpur (now [[Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology]]), in 1986 at the top of the class. He then joined [[Indian Institute of Science]], Bangalore, for his master's degree. From there he got his Ph.D. in 1992.<ref name="Faculty profile">{{Cite web |url=https://mme.iitm.ac.in/murty/bsmurty |title=Faculty profile |date=2017 |publisher=IIT Madras}}</ref> His PhD supervisor was Professor S. Ranganathan.<br />
<br />
==Research==<br />
Murty's Ph.D. dissertation was titled "Study of Amorphous Phase Formation by Mechanical Alloying in Ti Based Systems", in which he started one of the earliest works in [[Mechanical alloying]] in India. His research interests span over nanocrystalline metals and alloys, [[High entropy alloys]], [[Bulk metallic glass]], quasicrystalline alloys, [[grain refinement]] and modification of Al alloys, Al-based composites, in-situ composites, non-equilibrium processing, particulate technologies, thermodynamics and kinetics of phase transformations, [[transmission electron microscopy]] and [[Atom-probe tomography]]. He has set up a National Facility for Atom Probe Tomography at IIT Madras with a remotely operable Local Electrode Atom Probe (LEAP) (first such facility globally) that can characterize materials in 3D at the atomic scale. He has also set up Deakin-IITM Centre of Excellence on Advanced Materials and Manufacturing at IIT Madras jointly with [[Deakin University]], Australia.<ref name="Deakin-IIT Madras Centre Of Excellence In<br />
