Shibaji Chakraborty

Dr. Shibaji Chakraborty is a Postdoctoral Associate at Virginia Tech since May 2021, specializing in Space Weather research. With a focus on the effects and impacts of Space Weather on HF propagation using SuperDARN, Chakraborty has accumulated three years of experience in the SuperDARN Group, working under the supervision of Dr. Joseph Baker and Dr. J. Michael Ruohoniemi. His research primarily revolves around the study of solar flare-driven Shortwave-Fadeout and aims to provide a probabilistic now-cast of ionospheric HF propagation conditions during solar flares. Dr. Chakraborty employs various tools and software in his research, including Python, MATLAB, Word, Latex/Overleaf, pyDARN, and SQLite.

Before his tenure at Virginia Tech, 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, Java-Script, Lua, HTML, XML, JSON, CSS, Scala, Akka (Parallel computational Framework), Redis, and MySQL.
