U. S. R. Murty received his Ph.D. in 1967 from the Indian Statistical Institute, Calcutta, with a thesis on extremal graph theory;{{Citation|jstor=2239503|pages=728–740|title=News and Notices|volume=40|issue=2|journal=The Annals of Mathematical Statistics|year=1969|doi=10.1214/aoms/1177697752|postscript=.|doi-access=free}} his advisor was C. R. Rao.{{MathGenealogy|id=43662}} Murty is well known for his work in matroid theory and graph theory, and mainly for being a co-author with J. A. Bondy of a textbook on graph theory. Murty has served as a managing editor and co-editor-in-chief of the Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series B.{{citation | journal=Journal of Combinatorial Theory | series=Series B | volume=90 | year=2004
