Chitralekha Gupta
Senior Research Fellow · School of Computing, National University of Singapore
I build evidence-based AI systems at the intersection of human-computer interaction, audio signal processing, and wearable sensing — translating advances in generative models and multimodal AI into tools that people can use in everyday contexts. My work spans real-world audio intelligence, assistive technologies, wearable cognition, health-oriented explainable AI, and technology translation through entrepreneurship.
