Ramakrishnan has founded and directed multiple projects related to data acquisition on minority groups in the US, including the National Asian American Survey,[5] the AAPI Data project to collect information about Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the US,[6] and the Inland Empire 2020 Census Complete Count Committee, an effort in San Bernardino County and Riverside County to raise awareness and conduct outreach to hard-to-count populations by the US Census.[7] Ramakrishnan was also the founding editor of the Journal of Race, Ethnicity, and Politics.[8]

Ramakrishnan's work has regularly been quoted, or had his work cited, in news outlets like NBC,[9] Vox,[10] the Los Angeles Times,[11] The New York Times,[12] and The Washington Post.[13] He has also published articles in The Washington Post[14] and CNN.[15] [16]
