Jenny Fu

Postdoc Researcher

Columbia University

I’m a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Data Science Institute at Columbia University, mentored by Brian Smith and Orson Xu. I’m also a Fellow at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University. I design and evaluate the impact of AI-mediated communication tools on people’s emotional and social well-being. With a training background in cognitive science and design research, I applied a wide range of in-person and remote research methodologies, from large-scale surveys to participatory design workshops. Previously, I completed my Ph.D. in Information Science at Cornell University, affiliated with the Interplay Research Studio directed by Malte Jung.
