Biography

Dr Sudip Patra’s research work lies in quantum-like modelling in cognitive science or particularly in decision theory, with applications in economics and other social sciences. Quantum-like modelling is a novel paradigm of interface between mathematical-philosophical foundations of quantum science (particularly information theory) and cognitive science. Quantum-like modelling is a novel framework of non-Boolean decision theory, which describes decision making at large (including AI) under ambiguity or ‘radical uncertainty’.  Dr Patra has been publishing in different peer reviewed journals, collaborating with pioneering scientists.

Teaching interests

Dr Patra provides Masters and PhD level courses in complexity economics, and foundational thinking for example ‘Unity of Knowledge’ which is a co-taught course at PhD level. UG courses include behavioral economics and allied topics.

PhD supervision

Three ongoing, as principal or co-supervisor. Areas include: quantum-like modelling in decision theory related to financial systems, complex adaptive systems in health policy making.
