Dr. S. Dutta Gupta, a Former Professor of Department of Agricultural and Food Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, has worked for more than 3 decades in the area of Plant Developmental Biology. He is a pioneer in the application of Plant image analysis for non-invasive real time estimation of chlorophyll content, photosynthetic ability and early detection of wilting following artificial intelligence, PRI and thermal imaging. He has been able to bring engineering-plant tissue culture link to a new dimension of understanding. He has also contributed significantly to the application of light-emitting diodes in regulating plant morphogenesis and the biosynthesis of metal nanoparticle. Dr. Dutta Gupta has received fellowships/grants from various agencies and governments such as United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Lockheed Martin, the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), the Indian National Science Academy (INSA), the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Czech Academy of Sciences and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS). He has published more than 100 scientific articles and edited 5 books published by Springer and CRC Press and also featured in the Stanford University ranking of top 2 per cent scientists globally during 2021-22 in the category Plant Biology.
