He leads the interdisciplinary Cambridge Collective Intelligence & Design research group. Dr. Debnath sits on the steering committee of Cambridge’s new Centre for Human-Inspired AI. With a background in electrical engineering and computational social sciences, he designs collective intelligence approaches to provide a data-driven, complex system-level understanding of barriers to climate action in the Anthropocene, their interactions, and how these translate to leverage points for policy and behavioural interventions at scale.
