Current Research Projects

  1. Behavioral Experiments in Diacamma indicum Two experimental projects examining different aspects of nest relocation behavior in Diacamma indicum ants.
    • Designing and conducting controlled laboratory experiments to quantify decision-making strategies during relocation.
    • Interpreting experimental findings through the framework of behavioral game theory to understand the underlying strategic dynamics.
  2. Theoretical Study on Procedural Rationality Developed a formal model showing that bounded rationality — particularly procedural rationality — can be evolutionarily stable against von Neumann–Morgenstern (VNM) rationality in the context of hunter–gatherer societies.
  3. Network Cooperation Dynamics Investigating how collaboration can promote and sustain cooperation in networked populations, using concepts from non-equilibrium statistical physics and evolutionary game theory.
