Nisheeth Srivastava

Nisheeth Srivastava is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering and Cognitive Science at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur. His research bridges computational models of cognition with real-world applications in AI and local problem-solving.

1. Cognitive Science: Mathematically modeling human behavior inattention, memory, and decision-making.
2. Artificial Intelligence: Integrating cognitive insights into AI agent design for human-like behavior.
3. Solving Local Problems: Applying technical knowledge to address challenges in resource-constrained environments.

His recent work explores predictive modeling limitations, probability inference from sparse data, and decentralized multi-agent systems, with trends spanning decision theory, machine learning, and user behavior analysis. Lab affiliates include Visiting Research Scientist Muhammad Aurangzeb Ahmed, focusing on agent-based simulations of religious affiliation.
