Dr. Ananda Sankar Chakraborty hails from Kolkata, India. He graduated from the West Bengal University of Technology, in Electronics and Communication Engineering (2004 - 2008). After several years of independent research work and consultancy along with a year working in the Software Industry, he joined the M.Tech program in VLSI design in Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur, India (2012 -14). During M.Tech, besides coursework he collaborated on various semiconductor based research problems and worked on a project sponsored by the Department of Atomic Energy, govt. of India. From 2014 - 2019 , he worked as a PhD researcher with the Department of Electronic Systems Engineering, Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore. He developed a full-fledged "Compact Model" for low effective-mass channel MOSFETs and pioneered the simulation framework of the said novel devices in commercial circuit simulation engines.
After PhD he worked briefly as an "Institute Research Associate" at IISc, on some open problems in the domains of quantum devices. From Feb, 2020 he started working as a postdoc researcher with the Berkeley Wireless Research Center, UC Berkeley --- where he was instrumental in designing SPICE models for advanced devices to be used in communication circuitry for US Airforce. From Nov, 2021 - July, 2023 he worked with MathWorks as a senior software engineer, and contributed towards adding Silicon Carbide and Silicon based power semiconductor device models, into the inventory of the Simscape simulation platform. Since September, 2023 he has been working as an Assistant Professor with the ETCE department, Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur, India.

I mainly work on semiconductor device modeling and circuit design / simulation. I am broadly interested to explore any scientific area that requires the treatment of computationally efficient applied mathematical modeling skills -- in order to serve the nation and the humankind. I will be delighted to entertain offers for collaboration, in any truly challenging and cutting-edge research problems, which has at least some overlap with my research interests.
