Bio

Pranav Gupta is a Ph.D. candidate in Organizational Behavior and Theory at CMU's Tepper School of Business. My research focuses on understanding the emergence of intelligent behavior in digitally-augmented teams and self-organized collectives using lab experiments, archival data, and agent-based simulation models. The goal is to algorithmically facilitate smarter real-time coordination of their members' distributed knowledge (Transactive Memory), distributed attention (Transactive Attention), and diverse goals (Transactive Reasoning). My research is supported by fellowships and grants from DARPA, NSF, and ARO (PI: Anita Woolley).
