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, AI for Social Science and AI for Software Engineering:
- 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;2024.12 🚀 I will join the Malone postdoctoral fellow program at Johns Hopkins University next March! I will be working with a research group leading by Prof. Mark Dredze to explore the potential of LLM in qualitative analysis methodology usage in healthcare. I will also work with excellent researchers Ziang Xiao and Chien-Ming Huang!
2024.09 I am serving as an Associate Chair for CHI2025 under subcommittee "Understanding People — Statistical and Quantitative Methods" this year!
2024.05 Attended CHI2024 and met old and new friends!
