Tathagata Srimani

Tathagata Srimani (Member, IEEE) is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA. He received the S.M. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, MA, USA, in 2018 and 2022, respectively, and the B.Tech. degree in Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur, India, in 2016. From 2022 to 2023, he was a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University. Tathagata's research focuses on enhancing the energy efficiency and throughput of computing system hardware through advancements in new technologies, heterogeneous integration, and technology–architecture co-design. His research results include the first silicon fab-compatible process for complementary Carbon Nanotube FETs (CNFETs) enabling the first CNFET RISC-V microprocessor, and the first monolithic 3D system integrating complementary CNFETs with silicon. His work led to the transition of the CNFET and CNFET monolithic 3D technology (Silicon CMOS + Resistive RAM + CNFETs) to industrial fabs: Analog Devices and SkyWater Foundry. His work has been featured in major journals and conferences (Nature, Nature Electronics, ACS Nano, APL, EDL, IEDM, Symp. VLSI Technology & Circuits, DATE), won the Best Paper Award at the 2023 IEEE Symposium on VLSI Technology, and was highlighted in the U.S. President’s 2024 Nanotechnology Budget Report. He was a recipient of the MIT Presidential Fellowship in 2016 and Morris Joseph Levin Award—best Masterworks (S.M. thesis) presentation at MIT in 2018.
