Shounak Bhattacharjee

My work sits at the intersection of behavioural science, public services, and decision-making under uncertainty. I currently work within NHS crisis services and have experience across academic research and neurodevelopmental support settings, where decisions are often made with incomplete information, time pressure, and real human consequences.

I am particularly interested in how people assess risk, respond to persuasion, and make judgments in complex institutional environments. Through roles in crisis assessment, SEND behavioural interventions, and mixed-methods research, I have developed a practical understanding of how theory translates — and sometimes fails to translate — into real-world systems.

My approach is grounded, reflective, and evidence-informed. I value methodology, ethical decision making, and learning from failure as much as successes. I am continuing to build my skills in applied behavioural science, evaluation, and decision frameworks, with the aim of contributing meaningfully to public-facing work in health, education, and policy.
