Konstantinos Katsikopoulos works on decision theory and bounded rationality. He has made contributions to the modeling of heuristics that people (laymen and experts) should or do use to make decisions with limited resources of time, information, and computation.

He holds a Ph.D. in industrial engineering from the University of Massachusetts. He has also been a visiting assistant professor of operations research at the Naval Postgraduate School. He has authored articles in journals such as IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, Journal of Mathematical Psychology, Journal of Environmental Psychology, Human Factors, and Risk Analysis. He is currently working on a book entitled “25 Better Decisions”. Other activities include having been a co-director of workshops in bounded rationality at the Tokyo Institute of Technology and the Indian Institute of Management, and an associate editor of the journal IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics.
