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 from University of Pittsburgh, where I worked with Prof. Michael Lewis and Prof. Katia Sycara at CMU Robotics Institute. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Applied Psychology at Zhejiang University. I have also worked as a Research Intern at the Honda Research Institute USA and Alibaba Group.

My research advances human-agent teamwork at the intersection of AI, HCI, and robotics. I study how to build effective artificial teammates and how interactions between humans and AI shape team behavior and collective outcomes. My work combines insights from social science with probabilistic modeling, large language models, and multi-agent reinforcement learning to develop agents and robots that adapt, communicate, and collaborate with humans in dynamic social environments.
