Engineering socially intelligent agents is the overarching theme of Pradeep’s research. He envisions computing systems as sociotechnical systems that support rich interactions between humans and computational agents, enabling a variety of individual and societal applications. Pradeep’s works seek to develop (1) cognitive abstractions (e.g., values, norms, trust, and contexts) for systematically engineering sociotechnical systems; (2) techniques support rich interactions among humans and agents (many-to-many), e.g., via negotiation and deliberation, and (3) data-driven methods for supporting decision making by intelligent agents in a multiagent setting.
