About
Dr. Roman Gorbunov is a cognitive scientist whose research lies at the intersection of social cognition, computational modeling, and human-robot interaction. His work focuses on understanding the cognitive mechanisms underlying social preferences and decision-making in group settings, with the goal of designing more intuitive and socially aware interactive systems. In his highly regarded 2018 paper, "A cognitive model of social preferences in group interactions," Gorbunov introduced a novel framework that accounts for the irrational, emotionally-driven choices humans make in social contexts—a critical departure from traditional rational-agent models. This work, which has garnered 8 citations, provides a foundational tool for researchers developing social robots and collaborative AI that must anticipate and adapt to human behavior. By bridging cognitive psychology and computational modeling, Gorbunov’s contributions are shaping how we build machines that can genuinely understand and respond to the nuanced social dynamics of human groups.
