Assumption Making in Problem Solving

About Me

Kudrat Kashyap is a PhD Scholar at the IMPACT4IMPACT Lab, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, specializing in the dynamics of assumption making in problem-solving. With a background in Psychology (B.A. Honours from Lady Shri Ram College) and Design (M.Des. from NIFT Bangalore), Kudrat’s research aims to provide innovative insights into everyday decision-making processes. Kudrat’s interests span human-computer interaction, neurobiology of behavior, and designing for the differently abled. Kudrat’s work integrates psychological principles with design practices to enhance understanding of human behavior, striving to create inclusive and effective solutions for diverse populations. Kudrat is also the founder of The J3 Project, a design studio focusing on research, branding, and user experience design.
