Arun Kumar Choudhury (6 January 1923 – 6 September 1987) was the Indian founding head[1] of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering[2] at the University of Calcutta. He was a pioneer in both Analog and Digital Computing[3] since the 1950s. A.K. Choudhury Memorial Lectures[4] are arranged at various Indian Universities[5] to celebrate his contributions.[6]
Career
[edit]
Choudhury was instrumental in building the first analog computer in India.[7] He is best known for his work on optimization of Switching Circuits, High Threshold Logic, unate-cascade realizability[8] and fault-tolerant synthesis of sequential machine.[9]
A list of Choudhury's publications may be found here[10] and here.[11]
Each year, lectures on Computer Science are arranged in memory of Choudhury's achievements.[12] The Information Technology College at Calcutta University is named after Choudhury.[13]
