Satya Prakash Pati is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at North Eastern Hill University, Shillong, India. His research spans experimental condensed matter physics, with a focus on ion transport in solid-state materials, neuromorphic electronics, and spintronic devices. He is particularly known for his pioneering work on protonic neuromorphic devices, which mimic biological synapses to enable ultra-low-power information processing for next-generation artificial intelligence and healthcare applications. His research also explores voltage-controlled magnetic and electronic phenomena, including magnetic anisotropy, exchange bias, spin waves, and magnetoelectric switching, as well as complex oxide heterostructures for energy-efficient memory and logic technologies. Dr. Pati obtained his PhD in Physics from Jadavpur University, India, through research at the UGC-DAE Consortium for Scientific Research, Kolkata. He has extensive international research experience, having served as a JSPS Fellow and Assistant Professor at Kyushu University, Japan, and as a Senior Researcher at Nagoya University. He has received several prestigious awards, including the Distinguished Young Scientist Award (ICLED-2023, Singapore). Dr. Pati’s work aims to advance brain-inspired electronics and sustainable device technologies, contributing to the evolving landscape of next-generation computing.

Short profile: 

We face growing energy demands from data centers. My research on neuromorphic devices and voltage-controlled spintronic phenomena aims to drastically cut power consumption, supporting sustainable technologies and UN climate goals.
