Sangeeta Gupta

Sangeeta Gupta serves as an Assistant Professor of Psychology within the Psychology & Counseling department at Hood College, where she has been an active faculty member for the past five years. Based in Frederick, MD, she brings a distinctive cross-cultural perspective shaped by her upbringing across India, Japan, Canada, and Las Vegas.

Her academic foundation includes:

• Bachelor of Science (B.S.) from McMaster University
• Master of Arts (M.A.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas

Dr. Gupta's research program investigates the developmental trajectories and cognitive overlaps between language, music, and mathematical abilities across the lifespan—from infancy through adulthood. She employs rigorous cross-cultural methodologies to identify universal patterns versus culture-specific variations in cognitive development, with particular emphasis on how these domains interact and influence one another during critical learning periods. This interdisciplinary approach bridges cognitive neuroscience, developmental psychology, and cultural anthropology.

No scientific awards were documented in the available biographical materials.

While the current profile does not specify active advisees or externally funded research grants, her ongoing investigations into cross-domain cognitive development suggest continuous scholarly engagement with potential mentorship of graduate students in developmental psychology research.
