Assistant Professor Grade-I
Humanities and Social Sciences
My research work revolves around the idea of how the human mind evolved, what individual and situational factors were responsible, and the extent to which the human mind converges and diverges with other species. Currently, my work is looking at antecedents and behavioral consequences of risk-taking and self-control in humans. Both risk-taking and self-control have contributed to the flourishing of Homo Sapiens and the continuous growth of its civilization. My future work will look at the behavior of nonhuman primates (rhesus monkeys). The study of primates will throw light on the evolutionary conditions under which a behavior evolved.
