Biography

Ram K. Gupta is a Professor of Chemistry at Pittsburg State University. He is the Associate Vice President for Research Strategy and Advancement at Pittsburg State University. He has been recently named by Stanford University as being among the top 2 percent of research scientists worldwide. Before joining Pittsburg State University, he worked as an Assistant Research Professor at Missouri State University, Springfield, MO, then as a Senior Research Scientist at North Carolina A&T State University, Greensboro, NC. His research spans a range of subjects critical to current and future societal needs including semiconducting materials and devices, biopolymers, flame‑retardant polymers, green energy production and storage using nanostructured materials and conducting polymers, electrocatalysts, optoelectronics and photovoltaics devices, organic‑inorganic heterojunctions for sensors, nanomagnetism, biocompatible nanofibers for tissue regeneration, scaffold and antibacterial applications, and bio‑degradable metallic implants. He has mentored ten Ph.D./Postdoc scholars, 76 MS students, and 58 undergraduate/high school students. He has published over 400 peer‑reviewed journal articles (15000+ citations, 67 h‑index, 312 i10‑index); presented more than 650 national, international, regional presentations; chaired and organized many sessions at national and international meetings; wrote several book chapters (150+); worked as editor for many books (60+) for American Chemical Society, CRC, Springer, Elsevier, etc.; and received several million dollars for research and educational activities from external agencies. He is also serving as editor, associate editor, guest editor, and editorial board member of various journals.
