Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering
College of Engineering
Chirag Gupta's expertise is in semiconductor technology, specifically wide-bandgap and ultra-wide-bandgap materials and devices. Both wide- and ultra-wide-bandgap materials are both faster and more efficient than silicon-based technologies. Gupta earned his bachelors in electrical engineering in Kanpur, India. Having receiving two M.S. degrees and a Ph.D. in electrical and computer engineering from the University of California at Santa Barbara in 2018, Gupta opted to go into the tech space as a device engineer for Analog Devices. Gupta was later drawn to the University of Wisconsin–Madison because of its Fabrication Center, depth of research, and his desire to continue mentorship through teaching.
