Jason Wu
Apple. Research Scientist
I’m a Research Scientist in the Human-Centered Machine Intelligence group at Apple. I previously earned my PhD from the Carnegie Mellon Human-Computer Interaction Institute, advised by Professor Jeffrey Bigham. My PhD research was supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship.
Before I joined CMU, I graduated from Georgia Institute of Technology in 2018 with a B.S. in Computer Science. There, I worked at the GT Ubicomp Lab and the Contextual Computing Group.
My research applies data-driven modeling and other computational methods to make user interfaces more accessible and usable.
