Biography
Dr Gaurav Patil is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the School of Psychological Sciences at Macquarie University. His current research is focused on modelling the dynamics of cooperative and competitive human, multiagent task performance by using different computational, dynamical, and deep reinforcement and machine-learning based methods. He is particularly interested in analyzing complex human movement behaviors, developing artificial agents which can model such behaviors, and evaluating the effect of artificial agents on the dynamics of human-agent interactions.
