Dr. Raghothama is a part of the senior leadership team of international programs at College of Agriculture. He plays a key role in identifying international collaborative opportunities, promote study abroad programs and assist in project management. His research interests include transcriptional regulation of phosphate starvation induced genes and signal transduction during phosphate deficiency in plants. He teaches an upper level course on nutrition of horticulture crops.
