Research Impact

Supriyo Datta received his PhD from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1979 working on surface acoustic wave devices, and has been with Purdue University since 1981.  The non-equilibrium Green function (NEGF) method approach pioneered by his group for the description of quantum transport has been widely adopted both for academic research and for computer-aided design in semiconductor technology. He is also known for innovative theoretical proposals that have inspired new fields of research including molecular thermoelectricity, negative capacitance devices, spintronics and probabilistic or p-bits.
