I am a research-intensive academic in STEM (Information Technology) as an Enterprise Fellow, ARC DECRA Fellow and Senior Lecturer.
I am leading human-agent interaction and learning research, and my research innovations build the bridge between human cognition and AI agent and their applications to support decision-making, including brain-computer interface, deep reinforcement learning, human-in-the-loop reasoning, multi-agent systems, and relevant applications (e.g., clinical/healthcare, ground transportation and space).

About me
I am a research-intensive academic in STEM (Information Technology) as an Enterprise Fellow, ARC DECRA Fellow and Senior Lecturer.
I am leading human-agent interaction and learning research, and my research innovations build the bridge between human cognition and AI agent and their applications to support decision-making, including brain-computer interface, deep reinforcement learning, human-in-the-loop reasoning, multi-agent systems, and relevant applications (e.g., clinical/healthcare, ground transportation and space). For recent updates and detailed information, please visit my personal website: https://czh513.github.io
I am open to self-motivated, outstanding PhD applicants and also interested in working with UniSA Honour/Master students for short-term research projects. Interested applicants, please contact me by email - Jimmy.Cao@unisa.edu.au.
About me
Doctor of Philosophy University of Technology Sydney
Before joining UniSA, I worked at the University of Technology Sydney and the University of Tasmania and completed my PhD at Australian AI Institute.
