Dr. Bipin Kumar Gupta obtained his B. Sc. (Physics Hons.), M. Sc. (Solid State Physics) in
first division from Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India in 1996 and 1998,
respectively. He was awarded the CSIR-SRF fellowship of April 2001. He carried out his
doctoral research work at the Banaras Hindu University in the Department of Physics under
Professor O.N. Srivastava”. He obtained his Ph. D. in the year 2004. He was lecturer at
Department of Physics in Lucknow University, Lucknow from October 19, 2006 to August 2,
2007; he joined NPL as scientist B in 2007. Currently, he is working as Principal Scientist &
Associate Professor (AcSIR, CSIR-NPL) in the Photonic Materials Metrology Sub Division.
He is a recipient of INDO-US fellowship award in Physical Sciences (2010-11). He spent one
year in Rice University as an IUSSTF Fellow (Indo-US Science and Technology Forum, New
Delhi) from 1-10-2010 to 30-09-2011 with Prof. P.M. Ajayan at Rice University, USA. He visited
several countries like Ukraine (2003), JAPAN (2004), Taiwan (2005) and Turkey (2005).
Recently, he has selected for the APAM (Aisa- Pacific Academy of Material)
Fellow/Academician (Meeting held on April 12, 2017, Sendai, Japan) and he recently
received prestigious MRSI Medal-2018. He is recently appointed as nominated member for
the revise the specification of Bi-florescent features in Indian Passport at ISP, Nashik.
Recently, he is recognised as top 10% highly cited author in Materials portfolio of RSC
journals-2018. He has more than 18 years of research experience in the field of Experimental
Solid State and Condensed Matter Physics: Materials Science (Luminescent Materials: Bulk
and Nanophosphors), Nanotechnology, Bio-nanotechnology and Hydrogen Energy: Storage
and its applications in Hydrogen Fuelled Vehicles and Devices.His current research interest is focused on development of luminescent materials (bulk/nano),
luminescent graphene quantum dots and 2-D new emerging materials for applications in
luminescent security ink, security codes, optoelectronic devices, biological fluorescence
labeling, fluorescence quenching, field emission displays and luminomagnetic nanophosphors
as nano probe for drug delivery and external magnetic tracking applications. Four students
are pursuing their Ph.D. degree
and two students get PhD completed under his supervision. He has published more than 147
papers in SCI journals and written one book chapters. He has one Indian patent, which was
granted in 2006 (Indian Patent IP No.-202340) and four patents applied. He has developed
two technology, one based on luminescent materials has already transferred and another
technology based on CVD grown
graphene is under progress. His research work has more than 5700 citations
