Dr. Pramod K. Gupta is a pioneering researcher specializing in Nano-Bio Interfaces with a focus on point-of-care biomedical applications. He holds a Ph.D. in Nano-Biosensors and has extensive postdoctoral research experience in South Korea and the United States. Currently, he is a Post-Doctoral Researcher at Fraunhofer USA Inc., where he leads research on electrochemical biosensors, specifically utilizing boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes to develop innovative sensing solutions. His work also includes the design of bimetallic alloys, composites, and hybrid nanostructures for disease diagnostics. Prior to this, Dr. Gupta worked at Hanyang University, South Korea, focusing on enzyme-mimicking nanomaterials (nanozymes) for biomarker detection and biosensor optimization. During his PhD, he contributed to the development of advanced nano-biosensors and nanostructured zirconia for point-of-care diagnostics. His interdisciplinary research bridges nanotechnology with practical biomedical applications, creating rapid and sensitive diagnostic tools. Dr. Gupta is an editorial board member for several prestigious journals and a prolific reviewer, and he has delivered invited talks at international conferences. His leadership in the scientific community extends to collaborations with global researchers to advance biomedical diagnostics.
James R. Siegenthaler graduated from the University of Arizona with a Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry, focusing on instrument design and development for neurochemical measurements of dopamine in the brain. He has a diverse background from spectroscopic techniques to study chemical species in solution to quantifying pesticides in commercial products and understanding the surface phenomenon of materials through AFM and SEM characterization. He is an Adjunct Research Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Michigan State University and a Scientist at Fraunhofer USA Center for Coatings and Diamond Technologies. He is also a member of the American Chemical Society.
