Professor Srabanti Chowdhury (PhD '10, George and Ida Mary Hoover faculty fellow '19, Gabilan Fellow '19, Alfred P. Sloan Fellow in Physics '20) is an associate professor of Electrical Engineering (EE) and Center Fellow, by courtesy, at the Precourt Institute for Energy at Stanford University. Her research focuses on wideband gap (WBG) and ultra wideband gap (UWBG) materials for devices enabling energy efficient and compact system architecture for power and RF applications. While GaN and diamond has been the core of her research, her group is exploring other UWBGs such as Boron Nitride, Aluminum Nitride, as well as oxides for their rich physics and device engineering. She leads the WBG-lab at Stanford with a group of outstanding graduate and student postdocs. 

Srabanti received the DARPA Young Faculty Award, NSF CAREER and AFOSR Young Investigator Program (YIP) in 2015. In 2016, she received the Young Scientist award at the International Symposium on Compound Semiconductors (ISCS). She is a senior member of IEEE and NAE Frontiers of Engineering alumni. To date, her work has produced over 5 book chapters, 85 journal papers, 100 conference presentations, and 30 patents (26 issued).
