Shao ZHANG

Ph.D. Candidate, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China.

Shao ZHANG is currently a Ph.D. candidate at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, supervised by Prof. Ying WEN and Prof. Xinbing WANG.

From 2023 to 2024, Shao was a visiting student at Northeastern University HAI Lab under the supervision of Prof. Dakuo WANG. Shao obtained her MSc in Multimedia and Entertainment Technology (Game Development stream) from School of Design, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 2020. Before that, Shao earned her B.Eng. in Industrial Design from School of Design, Hunan University in 2019. During her undergraduate study, she was a member of XiaoLab and was supervised by Prof. Sheng XIAO and Prof. Beibei ZHAN.

Shao’s research interests include Human-AI Collaboration and Multi-agent System. Specifically, she is now focusing on:

  • AI-in-the-Loop deployment for human-AI collaboration systems in various real-world scenarios,
  • Zero-shot Coordination (ZSC) in human-AI collaboration via multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL),
  • Mutual Theory of Mind (MToM) in human-AI collaboration via Large Language Models (LLMs).
