Tianmin Shu
NEW I will join the Department of Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University as an Assistant Professor in January 2024. I will also hold a joint appointment with the Deparment of Cognitive Science. My group will focus on Social AI, Human-Robot Interaction, and Computational Social Cognition. I will be recruiting PhD students for Fall 2024. If you are interested in working with me, please feel free to drop me an email. You can learn more about my research below or from my research statement.
I am a Research Scientist at MIT advised by Josh Tenenbaum and Antonio Torralba. My research goal is to advance human-centered AI by engineering machine social intelligence to build socially intelligent systems that can understand, reason about, and interact with humans in real-world settings. I approach this from an interdisciplinary perspective, connecting machine learning, computer vision, robotics, and social cognition to study machine social intelligence.
