Rafatul Faria

Rafatul Faria has established herself as an expert in spintronic devices and probabilistic computing at Purdue University, where she completed her Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering. After earning her Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology in 2012, she joined Professor Supriyo Datta's research group at Purdue, where she focused on developing Probabilistic Spin Logic devices and autonomous hardware for unconventional computing. Her research spans across the analysis and design of spin-based logic devices, building upon her earlier work on Quantum Cascade Lasers. As a research assistant in the Datta group, she made significant contributions to the development of low-barrier nanomagnets as probabilistic bits for spin logic and the design of spin-torque devices with hard axis initialization as stochastic binary neurons. Her doctoral dissertation on "Autonomous Probabilistic Hardware for Unconventional Computing" has advanced the field of probabilistic computing and spintronic device applications.
