About

Jhuma Sunuwar is a researcher dedicated to advancing accessibility through technology, with a primary focus on sign language recognition and human-computer interaction. Her most impactful work, "Finger Spelling Recognition for Nepali Sign Language" (2018), has garnered 4 citations and stands as a foundational contribution to the field of assistive technology for the Deaf community in Nepal. By developing algorithms to interpret Nepali Sign Language finger spelling, Sunuwar addresses a critical gap in communication tools for a language that remains underrepresented in computational linguistics. This work not only demonstrates her technical expertise in pattern recognition and machine learning but also underscores her commitment to inclusive technology design. While her citation count reflects the niche nature of her research area, the significance of her contributions lies in their potential to bridge communication barriers for millions of Nepali speakers. Sunuwar’s research serves as a vital stepping stone for future work in regional sign language processing, inspiring further exploration into low-resource language technologies and their real-world applications in education, healthcare, and social integration.
