Introduction
I am a Ph.D. student in the department of Engineering and Public Policy in Carnegie Institute of Technology (CIT) at Carnegie Mellon University, working under the advisorship of Professor Cleotilde (Coty) Gonzalez. I am also working as a Graduate Research Assistant in the DDM Lab in the Department of Social and Decision Sciences at CMU.
Previous to this, I completed a Master's degree in Software Engineering from
the
School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon
(link). Also, after completing the 2007 ACT-R
summer school from
Department of Psychology
at Carnegie Mellon University, I was awarded a "Masters of Rational Simulation" diploma. I completed my Bachelors of Engineering (BE) degree in Computer Science and Engineering from
Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, India, in 2004. Prior to joining Carnegie Mellon University as a Master's student and now as a Ph.D. student, I worked as a software engineer in India's top IT Company,
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). The current focus of my interests and research has been in the fields of dynamic
decision-making, system dynamics modeling (and systems thinking) and modeling human
decision making and cognition using the ACT-R modeling framework. I have applied
himself to investigating problems concerning human understanding of stocks (accumulations and depletions)
and flows. Most recently, I have targetted my research to answering the question of wait and see on policies related to climate change and its mitigation.
