Supriyo Datta (born February 2, 1954)[1] is an Indian–American researcher and author. A leading figure in the modeling and understanding of nano-scale electronic conduction, he has been called "one of the most original thinkers in the field of nanoscale electronics."[2]

As an author, his books and online courses are widely used as original research and design work in the field of nanotechnology and electronic devices.[2][3] He is known for the development of the spin transistor, the non-equilbrium Green's function method for quantum transport and negative capacitances.
