Dr. Nancy Gupta

Bio-sketch

Dr. Nancy Gupta obtained her M.Sc. from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee in 2010, where she worked on the synthesis and characterization of benzimidazole-fused quinazoline derivatives. She earned her Ph.D. from IIT Bombay in 2016 under the supervision of Professor Anindya Datta, focusing on the spectroscopic studies of Nafion thin films and membranes.

She carried out postdoctoral research at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Pune with Professor Angshuman Nag, investigating metal halide perovskites for solar cell applications. She later participated in the Entrepreneur First accelerator program in Bangalore and subsequently joined Thermo Fisher Scientific, leading the organization’s content marketing and aggregator business.

Dr. Gupta joined the Netaji Subhas University of Technology in June 2021. Her research focuses on the synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of fluorescent metal nanoclusters.
