My first name, “Jie”(洁), pronounced like “Jyeah” in English.
I started a postdoctoral associate position in Mens, Manus, and Machina (M3S) team at the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology since Feb 2024, working with Prof. Thomas W. Malone. Prior to this, I got my PhD in Information Systems Technology and Design at Singapore University of Technology and Design in Jan 2024, advised by Simon Perrault. My research interests include Human-AI Collaboration, Human-AI Interaction and AI for Social Science. Specifically, I am passionate about:
- Human-LLM Collaboration/Interaction: investigating the various modes of collaboration/interaction between humans and LLMs, building taxonomy between human-LLM collaboration/interaction activities. One of the main use cases I will explore is code auditing;
- AI4SocialScience: exploring efficient AI-assisted tools to enhance qualitative analysis.
🚩 I am passionate about research and would be happy to discuss research ideas/collaboration opportunities! I am also glad to work with both undergraduate and graduate students! Please feel free to contact me at jie.gao[at]smart.mit.edu
