Halo~! My name is Jiexin, you can also call me Judy.

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher working with Dr. Eiji Uchibe at the department of Brain Robot Interface, ATR Computational Neuroscience Laboratories.

I spent my PhD years under the supervisions of Prof. Shin Ishii at Integrated Systems Biology Lab, Grad School of Informatics, Kyoto University, and Prof. Kenji Doya at Adaptive Systems Group, Neural Computation Unit, Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST).

During Phd, I developed an affordable and sustainable smartphone robotic platform to investigate artificial intelligence, mainly from the perspective of Reinforcement Learning to understand animal and human behaviors.

My current research lies in investigating how separating reward and pain distinguished from traditional RL reward setting could help for exploration and improving learning efficiency.

Personally, I am a mountain climber in a pre-alpinist level.
