Supratik Guha

Supratik Guha is a professor at Pritzker Molecular Engineering and senior advisor to Argonne National Laboratory’s Physical Sciences and Engineering directorate, leading the lab’s microelectronics and quantum information science strategic efforts.

Prof. Guha led the Center for Nanoscale Materials, a US Department of Energy Office of Science user facility, from 2015 to 2019. Before joining Argonne and the University of Chicago in 2015, he spent twenty years at IBM Research, where he last served as the director of physical sciences. At IBM, Guha pioneered the materials research that led to IBM’s high dielectric constant metal gate transistor, one of the most significant developments in silicon microelectronics technology. He was also responsible for initiating or significantly expanding IBM’s R&D programs in silicon photonics, quantum computing, sensor based cyberphysical systems, and photovoltaics.
