He served at AccelChip Inc. as president and CEO, raising $2.3 million in financing, helping the company build its first product and guiding the company’s growth to 25 employees and $800,000 in revenues. After leaving the helm of AccelChip, he continued to guide the company as a consultant in his role of chief scientist. AccelChip Inc. was sold to Xilinx Inc. in 2006.
He then founded BINACHIP. Inc., which like AccelChip Inc, develops products and services in electronic design automoation. He served at BINACHP as chairman and chief scientist.
Additionally, Banerjee has served on the technical advisory boards of several companies, including Ambit Design Systems, Atrenta and Calypto Design Systems. Banerjee has published approximately 300 papers in the areas of VLSI computer aided design, parallel computing, and compilers. He has also authored a book, Parallel Algorithms for VLSI CAD and served as associate editor of four journals. Additionally he has served at more than 50 conferences in the capacity of program chair, general chair, and program committee member.
Under him, Hewlett-Packard’s laboratories have placed larger bets on fewer projects, and have systematically sought outside ideas. He has dismissed the castoffs as interesting science projects and championed the survivors as big bets with the most commercial potential. He leads a group of 500 researchers, whose objective is to innovate five to 15 years beyond the focus of the rest of the company’s 30,000 R&D; engineers.
Banerjee believes in having locations for research organizations in various locations around the world (currently HP Labs has seven locations, including India, Russia, China and Israel) – not for access to cheap labor, but for ability to tap into innovation in local markets tailored to those local markets.
In 1996, he received the Frederick Emmons Terman Award from ASEE's Electrical Engineering Division. In 2001, the IEEE Computer Society honored him with the IEEE Taylor L. Booth Education Award.
Previous awards include: the University Scholar award from the University of Illinois (1993), the Senior Xerox Research Award (1992), the National Science Foundation's Presidential Young Investigator Award (1987), the National Science Foundation Presidential Young Investigator award (1987), the IBM Young Faculty Development Award (1986), and the President of India Gold Medal from the IIT, Kharagpur (1981).

| Known for | ecology of computationprediction marketsdynamics of complex structures |
Huberman originally worked in condensed matter physics, ranging from superionic conductors to two-dimensional superfluids, and made contributions to the theory of critical phenomena in low dimensional systems. He was one of the discoverers of chaos in a number of physical systems, and also established a number of universal properties in nonlinear dynamical systems. His research into the dynamics of complex structures led to the discovery of ultradiffusion in hierarchical systems.
Huberman joined Xerox Corporation's Palo Alto Research Center, PARC, where, in the field of information sciences, he predicted the existence of phase transitions in large scale distributed systems, and developed an economics approach to the solution of hard computational problems. He has authored or edited three books about the ecology of computation and the ecology of the web .
In 1989 he and colleagues designed and implemented Spawn, a market system for the allocation of resources among machines in computer networks, and a few years later a multiagent thermal market mechanism for the control of building environments. A similar subsequent work at HP Labs called Tycoon received the Horizon Award for Innovation. After working at Xerox PARC, Huberman became a Senior Fellow at HP Labs.
Presently, Huberman's work centers on the design of novel mechanisms for discovering and aggregating information in distributed systems as well as understanding the dynamics of information in large networks.
