Shipra Gupta is currently a tenure track assistant professor of Organic Chemistry in the department of Chemistry and Geosciences at Valdosta State University, Valdosta, Georgia, USA. She acquired her MS degree from Indian Institute of Technology-Guwahati in 2006. She finished her PhD degree in Organic Supramolecular Photochemistry from University of Miami, under the guidance of Dr. V. Ramamurthy, in 2013. Followed by three years of postdoctoral research experience at Florida State University under the guidance of Dr. Jack Saltiel. She held her first tenure track assistant professor position at New Mexico Highlands University. She is currently working towards her promotion and tenure as Associate Professor at Valdosta State University. She has extensive experience in photochemistry and photophysics of organic molecules. She has also gained expertise in the synthesis and studies of supramolecular host systems. In her postdoctoral studies, she focused on the photochemistry of biologically relevant compounds like Vitamin D. Her current research interests focus on the educational and experiential learning aspects of photochemical reactions. She is also actively researching the efficacy of water-soluble host systems for their product selectivity in biologically relevant photoreactions. She is an active member of American Chemical Society. She has served as the Chair for the South Georgia local section and is currently Chair Elect for next year.
