Hello, I'm —

Jialing Wu

I am a Ph.D. student in Engineering Education (minor in Computer Science & Engineering, AI track) at The Ohio State University, advised by Dr. Adam Carberry. Before entering academia, I spent five years as a consultant in education sector, recruiting for international schools and K-12 organizations — work that gave me a front-row view of who gets access to quality education and who gets left behind. That question brought me to research.

My work centers on AI and computational methods across educational research, teaching practice, and student learning. I use and evaluate machine learning, LLMs, network analysis, GIS, and mixed-methods designs across engineering education and other educational contexts, with particular attention to equity and access.
