About

Dr. Dheeraj Gupta

Professor & Researcher in Advanced Materials Processing

Dr. Dheeraj Gupta is an internationally recognized researcher in Mechanical Engineering with over 19 years of academic and research excellence. His work focuses on microwave materials processing, advanced surface engineering, and the development of high-performance metallic and ceramic materials for demanding tribological and industrial applications.

He earned his B.E. in Mechanical Engineering from Shri Govindram Seksaria Institute of Technology and Science (SGSITS), Indore, and completed his M.Tech. and Ph.D. from the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (IIT Roorkee), India. He further strengthened his global research profile through active participation in a European Union–funded research project in Lisbon, Portugal, fostering international scientific collaboration and cross-border technology development.

Dr. Gupta’s research integrates advanced processing science with industrial relevance, particularly in:

Microwave cladding and casting technologies

Surface modification and functional coatings

Cavitation erosion resistance

Sustainable and energy-efficient materials processing

Tribological performance enhancement of bulk and composite materials

With over 110 publications in SCI-indexed journals and 60+ international conference presentations, his work demonstrates strong global visibility and citation impact. He has contributed 13+ book chapters to leading international publishers including Springer, Wiley, and Taylor & Francis, reflecting recognition within the global scientific community.

As an innovator, Dr. Gupta holds two Indian patents in microwave cladding and casting technology, contributing to scalable, industry-oriented manufacturing solutions. His recent completion of a DST-SERB (Government of India) funded research project underscores his ability to lead competitively funded research programs aligned with national and international priorities.

A committed mentor and research leader, he has successfully supervised 9 Ph.D. scholars (8 awarded, 1 ongoing) and 26 Master’s theses, building a strong research ecosystem and collaborative academic network.

In recognition of his sustained scientific influence, Dr. Gupta has been listed among the World’s Top 2% Scientists (2022, 2023, and 2024) as identified by Stanford University in partnership with Elsevier—an acknowledgment of both career-long and recent-year research impact.

Global Collaboration Interests

Dr. Gupta actively seeks international collaborations in:

Joint research projects (Horizon Europe, Indo-EU, Indo-US, Indo-UK programs)

Advanced manufacturing and surface engineering initiatives

Sustainable materials processing and green manufacturing technologies

Industrial-academia translational research partnerships

Joint supervision of Ph.D. scholars and postdoctoral researchers

International laboratory exchange programs

His research vision is centered on developing scalable, energy-efficient, and high-performance materials technologies that bridge fundamental science with real-world industrial deployment.
