His research focuses on mathematical economics, game theory, and industrial organization, with recent emphasis on network formation dynamics and auction theory with privacy considerations. He explores how economic agents form networks (e.g., labor cooperatives, research collaborations, trade agreements) and how network architectures influence outcomes. His work also addresses privacy-preserving auction mechanisms.
Professor Joshi teaches graduate microeconomics, intermediate microeconomics, and game theory to undergraduates. His publications appear in top journals like International Economic Review and Games and Economic Behavior. He has contributed to interdisciplinary studies in network science, materials science, and biomedical research, reflecting his broad academic influence.
His research trends span theoretical economics, applied network analysis, and cross-disciplinary collaborations. Despite no explicitly listed awards, his sustained academic contributions since 1991 highlight significant scholarly impact. He advises students across multiple disciplines but no specific advisee names are documented here.
