Professor Ram B. Gupta is the associate dean for research in the College of Engineering at the Virginia Commonwealth University. After joining the College in 2014, he has significantly enhanced its national reputation as an engine of education and research and made important contributions to the success of students, staff, and faculty. For example, with his passion and expertise in creating and maintaining an innovative, healthy, and excellent academic and research environment, he grew the sponsored research awards by six-fold. He is responsible for sponsored research programs, facilities, centers and institutes.
Widely regarded as one of the nation’s leading researchers on sustainable energy, materials, and technologies, Gupta is a frequent keynote speaker and writer on the new developments and innovations. Media outlets, including Virginia Business, Reuters, London Daily Mail, Japan News, Science Newsline, Chemistry News, and Agriculture Markets, have covered his work. His books, which are used worldwide, are Nanoparticle Technology for Drug Delivery (2006, Taylor & Francis), Solubility in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide (2007, CRC Press), Hydrogen Fuel: Production, Transport, and Storage (2008, CRC Press), Gasoline, Diesel and Ethanol Biofuels from Grasses and Plants (2010, Cambridge University Press), Compendium of Hydrogen Energy (2015, Elsevier), and Simple Chemical Methods for Thin Film Deposition (2023, Springer Nature).
Previously, Gupta served the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) as director of the Energy for Sustainability program. Currently, he provides expert help to NSF in its Engineering Research Centers program. He began his career as a faculty member in engineering at Auburn University, rising through the ranks and serving as the chair of graduate program in chemical engineering. For his academic excellence, he has been given many notable awards, endowed professorships, and 55 research grants. He is ranked among top 2% most cited researchers in his field.
Gupta is a Fellow of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers and a Fellow of the Alabama Academy of Science. He received B.E. from Indian Institute of Technology, M.S. from University of Calgary, and Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin, all in chemical engineering. After that, he completed postdoctoral work at the University of California, Berkeley. Recently, he completed Management Development Program at Harvard University.
Prof. Jouhara is a Full Professor at Brunel University of London and a Fellow the Royal Academy of Engineering (raeng.org.uk). Prof. Jouhara obtained his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Manchester, UK in 2004 and has a career in both the Industry and Academia since then. He is a Chair of Thermofluids at Brunel and the founder and head of the Heat Pipe and Thermal Management Research Group and the Principal Investigator of many national and international projects in the areas of multiphase heat transfer and fluid dynamics, energy efficiency, renewable energy systems and innovative thermal management systems for electronics, nuclear and biomedical applications. Throughout his academic and industrial career, Prof Jouhara received over £16M in direct grants fundings from the Industry, EPSRC, Innovate UK, EU, Royal Academy of Engineering and UK Atomic Energy Authority. His patents have been adopted and implemented by various multi-national companies such as S&P Coils Products Limited, Econotherm (UK) Limited, Flint Engineering Limited, Spirax Sarco PLC, Solex Thermal Science and Air Products PLC that funds many of Prof. Jouhara’s projects directly. Professor Jouhara’s research has been published in over 200 journal articles and over 300 other publications such as conference papers, keynote lectures and editorials. He has also published many books and his latest books are entitled: Heat Pipes, Sustainable Energy Technology, Business Models, and Policies and Waste Heat Recovery in Process Industries . Prof. Jouhara is the editor-in-chief of the Elsevier International Journal of Thermofluids and Science Talks, Co-Editor of Thermal Science and Engineering Progress and an Editor of the International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer in addition to serving on the editorial boards of many other Elsevier journals. His innovative design methods have led to applications of the heat pipe technology in over 32 countries, and many granted international patents. The development of heat pipe heat exchangers, produced by Prof. Jouhara, has been applied in many industries, from high temperature processes such as recovering waste heat from ceramics, steel industry, food processing, solar PV thermal management and thermal energy storage using PCMs. Recent major projects that deal with the development of water and heat recovery systems include the GeoFlexHeat, which is he coordinates and the iWAYS of which he is the scientific and technical director of. Professor Jouhara was also the technical coordinator of many other H2020 projects such as: ETEKINA and the PI for others such as: INCOMESS, Cultural-E and DREAM. Professor Jouhara is a chartered Engineer and Fellow in both the UK (IMechE) and Ireland (Engineers Ireland) and a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Building Services Engineering (CIBSE). He is also a member of the institute of Refrigeration and a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy in the UK (SFHEA).
