Welcome to our new Associate Editor: Ruchi Gupta

We are delighted to welcome Dr Ruchi Gupta to the RSC Advances team this month!

Ruchi Gupta

Ruchi Gupta is currently a Senior Lecturer and Birmingham Fellow in Healthcare Technologies at University of Birmingham. She completed her undergraduate and master’s degrees at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore and McMaster University, Canada respectively. She obtained her PhD from University of Manchester where she stayed as a postdoctoral research fellow and then as a RAEng Enterprise Fellow. She was a Lecturer in Analytical Chemistry at University of Hull between 2014 and 2016. The research in the Gupta group is focused on designing optical sensors that are internally referenced with integrated sample preparation to address the challenges associated with measurement of molecules of interest in real samples, which are complex mixtures, and uncontrolled environmental conditions.

Ruchi says, “I am excited to join RSC Advances as an associate editor and looking forward to contribute to the journal from the analytical science perspective”.
