Mitali Banerjee is a researcher in computational social science, focusing on social networks, creative industries, organization theory, and economic dynamics. Her work explores how computational methods can illuminate cultural production, creativity, and the role of social structure in shaping innovation and fame. Banerjee's research includes studies on the impact of AI on human creativity, the evolution of artists' reputations, and the interplay between identity and creativity in organizational contexts. Her publications examine how social networks influence product distinctiveness, artistic innovation, and the perception of creativity.
