Prof. Deepa Seetharaman graduated from the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning with a B.Sc. (Hons.) in Physics in 1997. She completed her M.Sc. in Physics from Mumbai University in 1999, securing the first rank, and returned that same year to serve her alma mater as a Lecturer in Physics. In 2000, she qualified for the UGC-CSIR NET examination for Junior Research Fellowship. She earned her Ph.D. in 2010 from SSSIHL, specializing in Nuclear Electron-Gamma Spectroscopy.
In addition to her teaching responsibilities at the Institute, she has been actively engaged in research for the past twelve years. Although she began her research career in the field of Nuclear Structure and Decay, she is currently also working on nanomaterials, specifically, the synthesis of nanocrystalline ferrites for various applications. She presently serves as the Deputy Director of the Anantapur Campus.
