1 March 2023, by Celestina Hermida da Costa

We are happy to welcome Mrugsen Nagsen Gopnarayan!

Mrugsen interest lies in unraveling the process of human decision-making in social settings and creating an AI system that can replicate this process. The goal of the project he is working on is to create a socially intelligent Neural Network that would better interact with humans. As a research associate at IIT Kanpur, Mrugsen studied the impact of anxiety on decision-making, utilizing a range of techniques such as behavioral modeling, EEG, and eye-tracking data. Additionally, he has leveraged his skills in Hidden Markov models, Support Vector Machines (SVMs), and Deep Neural Networks to analyze biological datasets in the past.

We are looking forward to working with you!
