Supriyo Bandyopadhyay received a B. Tech in Electronics and Electrical Communications Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India, an M.S in Electrical Engineering from Southern Illinois, Carbondale and a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Purdue, West Lafayette. He spent one year as a Visiting Assistant Professor at Purdue University, West Lafayette and then nine years on the faculty of University of Notre Dame. In 1996, he became a Professor of Electrical Engineering at University of Nebraska-Lincoln and in 2001 moved to Virginia Commonwealth University as a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, with a courtesy appointment as Professor of Physics. Prof. Bandyopadhyay has authored and co-authored over 300 research publications and given more than 80 invited talks and colloquia across four continents. He is currently a member of the editorial board of five international journals. He serves as the Chair of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Technical Committees on Spintronics (Nanotechnology Council), and Compound Semiconductor Devices and Circuits (Electron Device Society). He has been an IEEE Electron Device Society Distinguished Lecturer and is also currently a Vice President of the IEEE Nanotechnology Council. Prof. Bandyopadhyay is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the American Physical Society, the Institute of Physics (UK), the Electrochemical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
