Overview
overview
Dr. Amar Gupta is a postdoctoral researcher at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Harvard Medical School, specializing in nanotechnology-driven X-ray imaging and radiation physics. His research centers on developing carbon nanotube-based X-ray sources, Static CT systems, and energy-efficient imaging technologies aimed at advancing sustainable radiology. Drawing on his startup experience in South Korea, Dr. Gupta merges innovation with translational research to push the boundaries of compact, high-performance X-ray systems. He is a committed science enthusiast who finds inspiration in engaging discussions on science, philosophy, and other academic realms, as well as writing poetry and listening to rock and metal music. Dr. Gupta is a husband to a supportive wife and a son to loving parents, and he looks forward to his forthcoming parenthood. His overarching vision is to drive paradigm-shifting breakthroughs in medical imaging, non-destructive testing (NDT), radiotherapy, and X-ray analytical techniques (XPS, XRD, and beyond) by leveraging the transformative potential of nanotechnology-based X-ray sources.

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
