Research Interests
Dr Bansal's research interest lies in how the world shapes technology and how the world, and particularly humans, are shaped by technology in return. Some of his recent research examines issues related to how companies can rebuild consumer trust after a data breach, gender issues in IT leadership, the psychology of fake news, and how AI-enabled smart devices are making us smart as a species but less so individually.
