Minglu (Lucy) Zhao
I am a Ph.D. student in Statistics at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). My research interests lie at the intersection between the study of human minds and computatioal modeling. In particular, I am interested in building models that can effectively generate human-like social interactions in various cooperative and mixed-interest scenarios, borrowing insights from artificial intelligence techniques including multi-agent reinforcement learning and Bayesian inference, as well as from cognitive and developmental theories of human interactions.
Before my Ph.D. study, I earned my Bachelor of Science degree also from UCLA, double majoring in statistics and cognitive science, with a minor in mathematics and a specialization in computing.
