Abhishek Chakraborty, a senior member of the IEEE, IEEE ComSoc, and the ACM, currently works as an Assistant Professor in the School of Engineering and Applied Science at Ahmedabad University. He has also been a visiting research scientist at the Qualcomm Institute, UC San Diego, USA, since July 2024. Preceding this appointment, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Qualcomm Institute from July 2021 to June 2024. He obtained his PhD from the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India, in May 2018. He also worked at the same institute as a Senior Project Fellow from August 2017 to August 2018 and Visiting Research Collaborator from March 2021 to June 2021. Furthermore, he also worked as an Institute Post Doctoral Fellow and a Senior Project Officer at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai, India, from August 2018 to February 2021. His current research interests are (alphabetically) algorithms for complex networks, communication networks, designing and deploying wireless network infrastructure on the Citizens Broadband Radio Service spectrum, education networks, network science, next-generation wireless networks, softwarized 5G networks, and wireless mesh networks.
