معرفی
Dr. Chen Zhou is a Lecturer at the University of Glasgow's School of Psychology & Neuroscience. His research integrates psychophysical methods, virtual reality (VR) technologies, and computational modeling to study human perception and action in social contexts. He focuses on modeling social behavior for applications in intelligent virtual agents and social robots, with expertise in Unreal Engine for VR development and robotic experimental setups.
Research interests include social interaction dynamics, human-robot interaction, and behavior translation into algorithms. Notable work explores how virtual human interactions influence real social networks and collision avoidance strategies in crowds. His interdisciplinary approach bridges psychology, robotics, and computational science.
Publications include contributions to Nature Machine Intelligence and Nature Human Behaviour, highlighting advancements in social locomotion models and crowd behavior analysis. Supervision of students like Rachael E. Jack underscores his commitment to training future researchers.
Leveraging Unreal Engine and robotic platforms, Dr. Zhou's work aims to enhance the humanization of social robots and virtual agents through behavior-based algorithms and experimental validation.
