Srinivas Raghu is a Professor in the Department of Physics at Stanford University, where he conducts research in quantum condensed matter systems. His interests encompass emergent behavior, non-Fermi liquids, quantum criticality, statistical mechanics of strongly interacting disordered systems, and the physics of half-filled Landau levels. Raghu has made significant contributions to the field, including the co-founding of topological photonics alongside Duncan Haldane and developing scaling theories for non-Fermi liquid metals with Shamit Kachru and Gonzalo Torroba. He has explored Euclidean lattice descriptions of Chern-Simons matter theories and dualities in two-dimensional systems, as well as perspectives on quantum Hall transitions. His academic journey includes serving as a Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford University and as an Assistant Professor at Rice University prior to rejoining Stanford as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics. He was promoted to Associate Professor in 2017 and is a Principal Investigator at Stanford.
