Staff profile

Welcome to my Homepage! I am an Assistant Professor in Computer Science, Durham University (UK) with a multifaceted background that spans both industry and academia. 

I am a Senior Member of IEEE, received my Ph.D. degree in computer science and engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, India, in February 2018. Prior to my joining at Durham University, I worked at Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway, as a Postdoctoral Researcher through ERCIM and Marie Curie Individual Fellowships from EU (Jan 2019 - May 2023). I also worked as a Computer System Architect at ZeroPoint Technologies AB, Gothenburg, Sweden (Jun 2022 - May 2024) and as an Assistant Professor in Computer Science and Engineering at Indian Institute of Information Technology Guwahati, India (Jul 2018 - Dec 2018).

My broad area of research is in high-performance computer architecture and compilers, with special focus on non-volatile memory technologies, post-CMOS architecture, thermal management, loop optimisation, etc.  For my publication details, you can visit my DBLP or Google Scholar pages. 

If your research interests align with mine, and you are enthusiastic in doing PhD/Postdoctoral research, we can have a chat. Feel free to reach me at shounak.chakraborty@durham.ac.uk.
