Suman Datta
Professor, Department of Engineering
University of Notre Dame


Suman Datta recently joined the University of Notre Dame as the Chang Family Chair Professor of Engineering Innovation. He was previously a faculty member at Penn State University in Electrical Engineering. He joined Penn State as the inaugural Monkowski Associate Professor in 2007, and was promoted to Full Professor in 2011. Before joining Penn State, from 1999 till 2007, he was in the Advanced Transistor Group at Intel Corporation, where he developed several generations of logic transistor technologies including high-k/metal gate, Tri-gate and alternate channel CMOS transistor technologies. His research interests are in novel solid-state nanoelectronic materials and devices, understanding of transport mechanisms, and lowpower circuit applications. His group’s recent emphasis is on non-volatile computing powered by energy harvesters and analog computing using collective state of coupled systems. He was a recipient of the Intel Achievement Award (2003), the Penn State Engineering Alumni Association (PSEAS) Outstanding Research Award (2012), the SEMI Award for North America (2012) and the PSEAS Premier Research Award (2015).
