​​Rajagopalbabu Srinivasan is a professor in the Department of Entomology at the University of Georgia and an adjunct professor in the university’s Department of Plant Pathology. He has been at the University of Georgia since 2008. Prior to that, he gained postdoctoral experience at the University of Florida and at the University of Idaho. He completed his PhD from the University of Idaho in 2006. Srinivasan’s laboratory conducts basic and applied research on important thrips-, whitefly-, and aphid-transmitted plant viruses that affect several row and vegetable crops in the southeastern United States. His laboratory is involved in understanding plant viral pathosystems at the micro and macro levels and on the sustainable management of insect-transmitted viruses and vectors.
