Priyanka M. Rupasinghe, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of Physics
ORCiD: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4656-332X

Hi, I'm a professor in the department of physics at SUNY-Oswego. I teach a variety of courses ranging from introductory physics (University Physics I & II) to upper level (University Physics III, Modern Physics, Optics & Electronics). I also teach introductory labs as well as advanced labs (Optics Lab and Electronics Lab).

​

My current research interests involve precision atomic structure measurements using laser spectroscopy as well as the study of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in support of quantum memory development.
