Krishnendu Chakrabarty received the B. Tech. degree from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, in 1990, and the M.S.E. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 1992 and 1995, respectively. He is now the Fulton Professor of Microelectronics in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering at Arizona State University (ASU). He is also the CTO of the SWAP Hub for the Department of Defense Microelectronics Commons (https://microelectronics.asu.edu/southwest-advanced-prototyping-hub/), and Director of the ASU Center for Semiconductor Microelectronics (ACME, http://acme.asu.edu). Before moving to ASU, he was the John Cocke Distinguished Professor and Chair of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University.
Prof. Chakrabarty is a recipient of the National Science Foundation CAREER award, the Office of Naval Research Young Investigator award, the Humboldt Research Award from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Germany, the IEEE Transactions on CAD Donald O. Pederson Best Paper Award (2015), the IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems Prize Paper Award (2021), the ACM Transactions on Design Automation of Electronic Systems Best Paper Award (2017), multiple IBM Faculty Awards and HP Labs Open Innovation Research Awards, and over a dozen best paper awards at major conferences.

Prof. Chakrabarty’s current research projects include: design-for-testability of 3D integrated circuits; heterogenous integration; silicon lifecycle management; hardware security; AI accelerators; microfluidic biochips; AI for healthcare. His research has been supported by the National Science Foundation, DARPA, Office of Naval Research, DoD Microelectronics Commons; National Institutes of Health, Army Research Office, Semiconductor Research Corporation, and various corporations (Intel, IBM, Synopsys, NI, Cisco, HP). He has published 27 books (with one book translated into Chinese) and 940 peer-reviewed papers (including over 380 journal articles) on these topics. He holds 24 US patents and his research on microfluidic biochips has been licensed by Advanced Liquid Logic, Illumina, GenMark, and Baebies Inc. He has collaborated extensively with the semiconductor industry and his test technology solutions have been adopted by Intel, TSMC, Samsung, Mentor Graphics, and Qualcomm (https://www.src.org/award/tech-excellence/2018/). He was a Visiting Professor at NVIDIA from May 2022 to January 2023. He has supervised 44 PhD dissertations and over a dozen postdoc researchers, and his former students and postdocs are now working at leading companies such as Intel, NVIDIA, Siemens, Google, Microsoft and Apple, and tenured in research universities.
Prof. Chakrabarty is a Fellow of ACM, IEEE, and AAAS, and a Golden Core Member of the IEEE Computer Society. He was a member of the DARPA Microsystems Exploratory Council for 2022-2023. He is also a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI). He was a Distinguished Visitor of the IEEE Computer Society (2005-2007, 2010-2012), a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (2006-2007, 2012-2013), and an ACM Distinguished Speaker (2008-2016). Prof. Chakrabarty served as the Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Design & Test of Computers during 2010-2012, ACM Journal on Emerging Technologies in Computing Systems during 2010-2015, and IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems during 2015-2018.
