Prabhu was the founding head of the department of statistics, Karnatak University, Dharwar in 1951.[2] He obtained a M.Sc. in mathematics from University of Manchester on a thesis entitled Solution to Some Dam Problems (1957).

Prabhu lectured at Gauhati University (1950–1952), Karnatak University (1952–1961), University of Western Australia (1961–1964), before becoming associate professor at University of Michigan (1964–1965) and Cornell University (1965–1994) where he became professor (1967) and emeritus (1994).
