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]
