Sudeep Bhatia is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, affiliated with the School of Arts and Sciences. He holds a joint appointment in the Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) program, where he teaches courses such as Behavioral Economics and Psychology of Choice and Modelling Choice Behavior. His research focuses on preferential choice, integrating insights from psychology and economics to understand how information retrieval and representation influence decision-making processes. He employs mathematical and computational models, validated through behavioral experiments, to explore topics like semantic memory search, cognitive mechanisms of judgment, and context effects in decisions.
Recent work includes large-scale analyses of moral dilemmas, decision attributes, and model-based predictions of behavior. His research bridges machine learning with decision science, emphasizing applications in consumer behavior, health perception, and leadership assessment. Bhatia directs a research lab focused on computational models of judgment and decision-making, accessible via his lab webpage. Though no specific advisees or grants are noted, his academic contributions span journals like Psychological Review and Management Science.
His work emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches, merging quantitative methods with cognitive theory to address real-world decision problems. Current trends in his research include leveraging natural language processing and large-scale digital data to predict human behavior across domains such as risk perception, ethical judgment, and social interactions.
