Bio: Sourav Dutta

Sourav Dutta is currently a postdoctoral research associate with Dr. Suman Datta in Electrical Engineering department at University of Notre Dame. He received his Bachelors in Electrical Engineering from Jadavpur University, Kolkata, India, in 2012 and his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, USA, in 2017 under Dr. Azad Naeemi.

His current research focuses on emerging device architecture exploration and implementation to enable brain-inspired computing. His work involves experimental characterization, modeling and simulation of ferroelectric and phase-change materials for enabling neural network and coupled oscillator based neuromorphic hardware. Previously, he has worked on modeling and simulation of spintronic devices and interconnects for Beyond-CMOS application during his PhD. From May to July 2016, he was a visiting researcher at IMEC, Belgium where he was involved in modeling and simulation of nanoscale plasmonic logic gates, magneto-plasmonics and spin-plasmonics for boolean and non-boolean computation for Beyond-CMOS application.

Sourav is the recipient of the 2018 Sigma Xi Best Ph.D. Thesis Award at Georgia Tech and 2009 Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana (Young Scientist Encouragement Program) Fellowship in India.
