Latha Venkataraman is a physicist. She is a professor of applied physics and chemistry at Columbia University.

Biography

[edit]

Venkataraman completed her BSc in Physics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1993, followed by Masters and PhD degrees at Harvard University.[1] Her thesis was titled Electronic properties of one-dimensional conductors: A study of molybdenum selenide molecular wires and was completed under Charles Lieber.[2]

She worked at Vytran Corporation before moving to Columbia University in 2003,[3] where she is currently the Lawrence Gussman Professor of Applied Physics[4] and Professor of Chemistry. Venkataraman served as Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs from January 2019 through June 2022.[1]
