Vinay Gupta (born 31 March 1972) is an Indian materials scientist and a former senior scientist at the Physics of Energy Harvesting department of the
Alexander von Humboldt Fellow. The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, the apex agency of the Government of India for scientific research, awarded him the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology, one of the highest Indian science awards, for his contributions to physical sciences in 2017.[1][note 1]
Biography
Born on 31 March 1972 in the Indian state of
Nobel Laureate in Physics, at the University of California, Santa Barbara from August 2012 to July 2013,[2]
and visiting professor at Shizuoka University, Japan from October 2016 to December 2016.
Research
Gupta is known to have made notable contributions in the fields of
carbon nanotubes and Förster resonance energy transfer.[4] His efforts are reported to have assisted in translating the science into viable technological products.[5] His studies have been documented by way of a number of articles[6] and ResearchGate, an online article repository of scientific articles, has listed 90 of them.[7][note 2] He has also delivered plenary or keynote speeches at various seminars and conferences[8][9] and is the coordinator of the pre-conference workshop on Thin Film Solar Cells scheduled to be held in November 2017, in connection with the "17th International Conference on Thin Films-2017 (ICTF-17)".[10]
Awards and honours
Gupta has held three major research fellowships; JSPS fellowship of the
Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize, one of the highest Indian science awards in 2017.[12]
