      Prof. Gupta is currently working as an Associate professor at the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, IIT Bombay. She is the PIC (Professor-In-Charge) of the Cognitive and Behavioural Neuroscience (CBN) Lab at IIT Bombay. Prof. Gupta is the first person in India to receive a PhD in Cognitive Sciences. She also received highly competitive and prestigious research fellowships worth EUR 750K to work with renowned scientists worldwide. For example, she twice received the highly competitive and prestigious Marie Curie Fellowship to work at the University College London, United Kingdom and the University of Geneva, Switzerland.                
      She has worked in experimental psychology and cognitive neuroscience for many years, specializing in human cognition, emotion, visual attention, perception, attention, meditation, artificial intelligence, and cognitive disorders. She has demonstrated excellence in the scientific field, and the findings of her research are helping in the development of powerful technology. These results have theoretical, clinical, and societal implications. Also, results have implications in marketing and advertisements. Prof. Gupta’s CBN lab has received, since 2017,  highly competitive research grants (worth INR ~7 Cr or EUR ~780K) and fellowships, such as the DST-CSRI research grant, Department of Health Research, Indo-Swiss research grant, Indo-Canadian Shastri research grant, IRCC research grants, IITB-Monash research grant, Nehru Fulbright grant, and Scientific High-Level Visiting Fellowship 2024. She has also received four translational research grants from the Koita Centre for Digital Health (KCDH), the TATA Design Center, the Wadhwani Research Center for Bioengineering, and the Sunita Sanghi Centre of Aging and Neurodegenerative Diseases.                
      She has independently supervised 18 lab members, including one Nehru-Fulbright fellow from the University of Princeton, USA, one PhD student from the University of Fribourg, Switzerland, 3 PhD students from India, six project staff, one MPhil thesis, one Master thesis, one postdoc fellow, and four interns. She currently supervises 8 PhDs and two project staff. She maintains more than 20 international research collaborations, demonstrating her ability and willingness to collaborate with other researchers.               
       Prof. Gupta has published more than 70 articles in prestigious journals. She has presented research papers at more than 100 national and international conferences. Her visibility in the field has been reflected in invitations to review and join international panels to assess research quality. As part of her dedication to high academic standards, she is an Associate Editor of the “Scientific Reports” and “Humanities and Social Sciences Communications” journals, which are the Nature portfolio journals. She is also an associate editor of the “Frontiers in Psychology” journal, the most-cited journal in her field. Her work is often covered in highly-rated media outlets, such as Research Matters, Science Daily, Science Newsline, BioPortfolio, EurekAlert, The Week, UCL News, Hindus, and Times of India.
