About Me

Hello, I'm Jenny. Welcome to my website!

I am an incoming PhD student in the Technology & Operations Management program at Harvard Business School, supported by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.

Currently, I'm a Pre-Doctoral Researcher in the Computational Social Science Lab at Microsoft Research working with David Rothschild, Jake Hofman, and Dan Goldstein. Before this, I was an undergraduate student at Wellesley College, where I graduated with majors in Computer Science and Economics.

I am interested in improving existing methods used to answer social and policy-relevant questions. My recent projects focus on understanding how LLMs change the way humans interact with technology. Specifically, I have explored how GPT-based models can be prompt-engineered for synthetic data generation and how BERT models fine-tuned on biography text can mitigate bias in race classification models.

Skills

I discovered my interest in research after several years of building software. I am still eager to learn new skills and technologies, and I hope to design tools that can benefit the research community.
