Researcher Biographies

Dr. Gupta joined the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at the University of Alberta in September 2014 as an Assistant Professor. She has over 20 years of research experience and obtained her PhD. in Electrical Engineering from Yale University in 2009 with a MSc from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 2002. She has been involved in different areas of research and development in academia, scientific labs and industry. She has conducted material growth and optimization, device design and fabrication for both electronic and optoelectronic applications, semiconductor fabrication including material and electrical characterization, surface functionalization. She has developed device based sensors for biosensing and optical sensors for solid content detection and label free cell detection. She also has industrial experience of working at a start-up company and at ACAMP in Edmonton. Her lab has recently developed a POC SARS-COV2 sensor recently which has been transferred to a local company for commercialization. Also, she is currently working on developing diabetic wound multi-variate sensors using 3D printing. In addition, her group also conducts work in the area of 2D materials, electronic devices, light scattering based detection and nano photonics.
