Biography

Shubhra Gangopadhyay joined the University of Missouri in 2003 as the C.W. LaPierre Chair professor of electrical and computer engineering and physics to enhance interdisciplinary research in the areas of microelectronics/nanoelectronics, material science and nanotechnology. Gangopadhyay obtained her Ph.D. in physics in 1982 from the Indian Institute of Technology at Kharagpur. She was a guest scientist at the Universitat Kaiserslautern during 1983-1985. Before assuming the position at MU, she was a professor of physics at Texas Tech University (TTU) for 18 years. Gangopadhyay co-directed the Nano Tech Center at TTU from 1999-2003, where she developed micro/nanoelectronics and micro/nanosensor technologies. She became a Fellow of American Physical Society in 2003.
