Mark Ho

I lead the Computation and Decision-Making Lab (CoDec Lab) in the Computer Science Department at Stevens. My collaborators and I investigate the computational principles that underlie cognition, decision-making, and social interaction in humans and intelligent machines by drawing on ideas and methods from cognitive science, social psychology, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence. For more information see my lab website.

I received my Ph.D. in Cognitive Science and M.S. in Computer Science from Brown University. Prior to starting at Stevens, I was a postdoc at UC Berkeley (EECS) and Princeton University (Computer Science) as well as a faculty fellow at New York University's Center for Data Science.
