“Professor Gupta is an exemplar of an innovative researcher with international impact, a teacher who involves his students in entrepreneurial opportunities, and a public advocate for engineering and science,” said NYU-Poly President Katepalli R. Sreenivasan. “NYU-Poly is pleased that he has been recognized by the ASM International and proud to have him among our faculty. He exemplifies the spirit of innovation that the school strongly upholds.”

“Research and teaching are not the only jobs a scientist must do,” Gupta said. “It’s very important to stay active in professional societies and be of service to your colleagues. NYU-Poly has been very supportive and has made it possible for me to have such a rich, multi-faceted career.”

Gupta holds a master’s degree in metallurgical engineering from the Indian Institute of Science and a doctorate in engineering science from Louisiana State University.
