Biography

Dr. Gupta is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science in the Bobby B. Lyle School of Engineering, °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÔ¤²â Lyle. Dr. Gupta has developed a number of prediction models that use medical data (Electronic Health Record data) to predict future risk of developing diseases such as obesity and heart failure.

Dr. Gupta’s main research interests are in deep learning and prediction modeling, for applications in healthcare. During her graduate studies, she collaborated with local hospitals and other non-profit organizations (Delaware Data Innovation Lab). Dr. Gupta’s dissertation, entitled “Deep Learning Predictive Modelling for Electronic Health Record” has garnered a significant impact on childhood obesity prediction and provides the basis to develop clinical decision support for obesity prediction in pediatric primary settings.
