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. Our group have several openings for PhD, postdoc and RAs. If you’re interested in XR and AI within the field of HCI/CSCW/Educational Tech, please feel free to reach out to me!
