Debashish Dev

I am an applied social researcher working on how people, institutions, and decision processes interact in complex and contested settings, including energy, infrastructure, and regional development.

My work examines social risk, cumulative impacts, information quality, trust, and participation, with a focus on how these dynamics shape real-world decision-making, implementation, and institutional credibility.

I use mixed-methods social research to generate practical, decision-relevant insights for organisations working with communities, supporting more adaptive, context-sensitive, and socially robust practice.
