His research primarily revolves around the study of transient space weather impact on the Magnetosphere-Ionosphere-Thermosphere (MIT) systems and aims to provide a probabilistic now-cast of space weather conditions specifically during extreme events. Dr. Chakraborty employs various tools and software in his research, including Python, MATLAB, and anything open-source (primarily revolves around Python).

Chakraborty worked as a Postdoctoral Associate at Virginia Tech from May 2021 till September 2024, specializing in Space Weather research. With a focus on the impacts of Space Weather on HF propagation using SuperDARN, Chakraborty has accumulated years of experience in the SuperDARN Group, working under the supervision of Dr. Joseph Baker and Dr. J. Michael Ruohoniemi.

Before his tenure in Space Weather research, Dr. Chakraborty served as an Information Technology Analyst at Tata Consultancy Services Innovation Labs from September 2010 to July 2015. During this period, Chakraborty gained 4.75 years of valuable experience working on diverse projects, including the Home Energy Management System and Device Management System. His role involved handling different software development modules like API and APP gateway, automated user application deployment module, distributed task queue, and Sensor data explorer (Cloud-based). Chakraborty utilized a wide range of tools and software, such as Python, Java, C, JavaScript, Lua, HTML, XML, JSON, CSS, Scala, Akka (Parallel computational Framework), Redis, and MySQL.
