Biography
Sushil Kumar Gupta (born February 10, 1958) obtained his B.Sc.(Hons.) Chemistry and M.Sc. (Inorganic Chemistry) from L. N. Mithila University, Darbhanga and Ph.D. (Coordination Chemistry) from Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi in 1990. He then stayed at IIT Delhi as a Postdoctoral Research Associate of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Delhi before he joined Jiwaji University, Gwalior as Lecturer in September 1991. He was promoted to Reader in January 2000 and Professor in January 2008. He was awarded a Commonwealth Academic Staff Fellowship (1996-1997) and J W T Jones Travelling Fellowship (2001) to work in the group headed by Professor Colin Eaborn, FRS and Dr J. David Smith, University of Sussex, Brighton, U.K.
Research Interest
His research interests lie in the field of organometallic chemistry of bulky organosilicon ligands including lanthanoides and coordination chemistry of transition metals with particular reference to structure, reactivities and spectroscopic properties. Currently, he is involved in establishing structural factors for biologically significant Schiff base complexes.
