Huao Li 李胡傲

Hi, I am a Postdoctoral Fellow for Engineering Excellence in the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS) at MIT. I work with Prof. Chuchu Fan and the REALM lab on human-centered AI for robotics.

I received my Ph.D. in Intelligent Systems and M.S. in Information Science from the University of Pittsburgh, where I worked with Prof. Michael Lewis and collaborated closely with Prof. Katia Sycara at Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). I have also worked as a Research Intern at the Honda Research Institute USA and Alibaba Group. Prior to coming to the US, I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Applied Psychology at Zhejiang University, and worked with Prof. Zaifeng Gao.

My research focuses on facilitating collaboration between humans and artificial intelligence (AI) agents. I have worked on transparency, trust, adaptation, communication, and Theory of Mind reasoning in human-agent teams. I am also interested in applying interdisciplinary research methods to study machine behaviors in multi-agent settings, such as those of reinforcement learning (RL) and large language model (LLM) agents.
