Early life and education

edit

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.[1]

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.[2][3]

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,[4] he researches topics of "biophysics, microbial communities, host-microbe interactions, and advanced microscopy techniques".[5]

Since 2016, Parthasarathy has served as co-director of the University of Oregon Science Literacy Program.[6]

Parthasarathy was named Alec and Kay Keith Professor in 2016, and promoted to full professor in 2017.[2]
