My name is Chen Zhou: I am a recently appointed lecturer here in the School of Psychology & Neuroscience. My research combines classic psychophysical methods, cutting-edge virtual reality technologies and computational modelling to study human perception and action in social contexts. I am especially interested in modelling human social behaviour and translating the findings into algorithms that can be directly used in intelligent virtual agents and social robot platforms. I have extensive experience in developing virtual reality programs with Unreal Engine, and conducting behavioural experiments with robot platforms.
