Georgie Qiao Jin
Hi! I am a postdoctoral fellow from Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, working with Prof. Vincent Aleven. I received my PhD from Grouplens Research Center at the University of Minnesota, luckily advised by Prof. Lana Yarosh. Meanwhile, I have close collaboration with Prof. Feng Qian at USC and Prof. Bo Han at GMU. My research focuses on using XR + AI to support remote learning, collaboration and social connection.
📢 I will be joining the Department of Computer Science at North Carolina State University as an Assistant Professor in Fall 2025. I have openings for two PhD students and one postdoc starting that fall. If you’re interested in XR and AI within the field of HCI/CSCW/Educational Tech, please feel free to reach out to me.
