Raghuveer Parthasarathy (born 1976) is an American biophysicist, and an Alec and Kay Keith Professor of Physics on the faculty of the University of Oregon.

Early life and education

Born in 1976 in Mysore, India, Parthasarathy is the son of Sampath and Kalyani (née Rangaswamy) Parthasarathy. He became a U.S.citizen at age twelve in 1988 in San Diego, California.{{Cite web |title=California, U.S., Federal Naturalization Records for Raghuveer Parthasarathy |url=https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/3998/images/43845_3421606203_0559-01492?pId=2219004 |url-access=subscription |access-date=2022-09-06 |website=www.ancestry.com}}

Parthasarathy earned an A.B. in physics in 1997 from the University of California, Berkeley, and a Ph.D. physics in 2002 from the University of Chicago, with the dissertation, Electronic transport in arrays of gold nanocrystals, advised by Thomas F. Rosenbaum.{{Cite web |title=Raghuveer Parthasarathy, C.V. |url=https://pages.uoregon.edu/raghu/ToShare/Parthasarathy_CV_Feb2022.pdf |access-date=September 6, 2022 |website=uoregon.edu}}{{Cite thesis |title=Electronic transport in arrays of gold nanocrystals |url=https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2002PhDT........67P |date=2002-01-01 |first=Raghuveer |last=Parthasarathy |bibcode=2002PhDT........67P |isbn=9780493667980}}

Career

Following a four year post-doc as a Miller Research Fellow at Berkeley, Parthasarathy joined the physic faculty at the University of Oregon in 2006. As a member of both the Institute of Molecular Biology and the Materials Science Institute,{{Cite web |title=The physicality of life |url=https://press.princeton.edu/ideas/the-physicality-of-life |access-date=2022-09-06 |website=press.princeton.edu |language=en}} he researches topics of "biophysics, microbial communities, host-microbe interactions, and advanced microscopy techniques".{{Cite web |title=IMB Faculty |url=http://molbio.uoregon.edu/faculty/ |access-date=2022-09-06 |website=molbio.uoregon.edu}}

Since 2016, Parthasarathy has served as co-director of the University of Oregon Science Literacy Program.{{Cite web |title=2021 Williams Fellows {{!}} Office of the Provost |url=https://provost.uoregon.edu/2021-williams-fellows |access-date=2022-09-07 |website=provost.uoregon.edu}}

Parthasarathy was named Alec and Kay Keith Professor in 2016, and promoted to full professor in 2017.
