[[File:IISc Admin Building.jpg|thumb|left|Indian Institute of Science]]<br />
Krishnamurthy obtained his BSc (Hons) in Physics (1970) from Bangalore University and MSc (Physics) (1972) from [[Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur|IIT, Kanpur]]. He studied in [[Cornell University]] (1972–76) as an IBM fellow, working with [[Kenneth G. Wilson]] and [[John W. Wilkins]]. In his PhD thesis, he extended Wilson's [[numerical renormalization group]] solution for the [[Kondo Effect|Kondo problem]] to the symmetric [[Anderson impurity model]].<ref>{{cite journal | url=https://journals.aps.org/prb/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevB.21.1003 | first1=H. R. | last1=Krishnamurthy | first2=J. W. | last2=Wilkins | first3=K. G. | last3=Wilson | title=Renormalization-group approach to the Anderson model of dilute magnetic alloys. I. Static properties for the symmetric case | journal=Physical Review B | volume=21 | issue=1003 | date=1 February 1980 | accessdate=13 May 2018 | doi=10.1103/PhysRevB.21.1003 }}</ref> The extension to the asymmetric case was completed during his post-doctoral tenure (1976–78) at the University of Illinois. Krishnamurthy returned to India and joined the Department of Physics, IISc, Bangalore (1978) and became a Professor (1996). He has held sabbatical positions at Princeton University, Harvard University, Ohio State University, University of Cincinnati, UC Davis and Georgetown University.<br />
