Sengupta, MD, MBBS, FACC, is a tenured Professor of Medicine, Chief of the Division of Cardiology at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, and Chief of the Cardiovascular Service Line at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital. He completed his residency and cardiology fellowship at the Mayo Clinic (Rochester and Arizona) in 2007 and 2010. 

An internationally recognized leader in cardiac imaging, digital health, and artificial intelligence, Dr. Sengupta has authored more than 330 peer-reviewed publications (H-index: 72). His research focuses on advanced ultrasound imaging, AI-enabled diagnostics, robotics, and wearable technologies. He has directed multidisciplinary teams to pioneer mobile health and point-of-care ultrasound programs, including landmark ASE Foundation initiatives such as ASE-REWARDS, ASE-VISION-in-Tele-Echo, and ASEF-VALUES, which advanced community outreach, digital platforms, and global learning in echocardiography. 

Dr. Sengupta has also made milestone contributions to imaging informatics. He reported one of the earliest applications of machine learning in echocardiography (2013) and more recently led the development of the PRIME checklist, now adopted by the ACC and JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging as the standard framework for evaluating artificial intelligence in cardiovascular imaging. 

His achievements have been widely recognized. He received the 2026 Distinguished Scientist Award (Translational Domain), was named among the Top 1% Healthcare Research All-Stars for 2025 by Avant-Garde Health, and received the 2024 AACIO Award for Outstanding Achievements in Cardiology, the 2023 NJBiz Healthcare Hero Award, and the 2023 ACC Gifted Educator Award.
