Prof. Vinay Gupta received the BSc, MSc, and PhD degrees in physics in 1987, 1989, and 1995, respectively, from the University of Delhi, New Delhi, India. Presently, he is a professor in the Department of Physics and Astrophysics and Dean of Faculty of Science, University of Delhi. His current research area includes semiconductor and surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors for gas/chemical/radiations/bio-molecules, amperiometric/photometric biosensors, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technique for dielectric studies and sensing applications, micro-fluidics, nanostructured materials, piezoelectric and multiferroic thin films/ceramics for energy harvesting applications, pressure sensors, RF and microwave resonators, photonic devices, non-linear optical studies, SAW devices, MEMS transducers and Micro-heaters, Molecular Simulations and device modeling. He is engaged towards the development of integrated devices having strategic as well as commercial applications. His research group has successfully integrated piezoelectric ZnO thin film with MEMS structures fabricated by CEERI, India for acoustic sensor as per specification desired by Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). These Acoustic sensors have been installed in PSLV flights of ISRO from C9 - onwards. He has published more than 370 research papers in high impact factor SCI journals. He has been granted one US and 3 Indian patents along with one successful technology transfer of Indigenously developed table top SPR system which is being used in various academic and research institutes. He is an active member of various reputed research societies like IEEE, MRSI, EMSI etc. At present he has project grants of more than Rs. 4 Crores. He is recipient of BOYSCAST fellow, MRSI Medal-2012 presented by Material Research Society of India and also recently received Distinguished Teacher's Award by University of Delhi. Recently he has been ranked amongst top 2% scientists by Stanford Ranking of world's Best Scientist.
