About Me

Dr. Mengyao Li is an Assistant Professor in the School of Psychological and Brain Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where she directs the Hybrid Intelligence (HI) Lab. She serves on the Steering Committee of the Center for Human-AI-Robot Teaming (CHART) and as Vice Program Chair-Elect of the HFES Human-AI-Robot Teaming (HART) Technical Group. She received her Ph.D. and M.S. in Industrial and Systems Engineering (Human Factors) from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Her research addresses a defining question of the AI era: how can humans and intelligent agents work together as trusted teammates? By revealing how trust forms, spreads, breaks, and repairs in human-AI teams, her work informs the design of intelligent technologies that support safer decision-making and more resilient performance in domains from defense and transportation to human-robot interaction. Her research has been supported by DARPA, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the Georgia Tech Research Institute, and recognized with the Smithgall-Watts Early Career Faculty Award and best paper awards from HFES and AutomotiveUI.
