Hi! My name is Jialu Wang. Currently, I am a fifth-year PhD candidate at UC Santa Cruz, CS Department. I work with Prof. Yang Liu and Prof. Xin Wang. My research interest is algorithmic fairness in decision making and AI models. More specifically, I study how to train fair classifiers with imperfect information and understand the impact of the implicit biases sourced from the training data, with the applications on vision and language learning.
Prior to that, I received my Bachelor degree of Computer Science at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2019.
I am on the job market now!
Misc
I enjoy road trips. I have plotted the road trip map, highlighting the US states and national parks I have visited.
