Justin Li

I am currently a computer science PhD student at the University of Michigan, working with Professor John Laird on the Soar cognitive architecture. My research focuses on how meta-cognition may functionally benefit artificial agents and how to efficiently make and make use of these meta-cognitive judgments.

In my spare time, I read, I write, I code, I climb, I bike. More of my online presence can be found on my Google profile.
