Raghuveer Parthasarathy has been a Physics professor at the University of Oregon since 2006. His research interests involve biophysics, especially the structure and dynamics of the gut microbiome, which his research group explores using new sorts of optical microscopy. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society. His teaching interests mostly involve courses for non-science majors, including a “biophysics for non-scientists” class (The Physics of Life) and "Physics of Energy and the Environment." He has written and illustrated a popular-science book on biophysics, "So Simple a Beginning: How Four Physical Principles Shape Our Living World," available in early 2022.
