Jay Wang

Hi, I'm Jay. I'm a Machine Learning Ph.D. student in the College of Computing at Georgia Tech adviced by Polo Chau.

My research focuses on making AI more accessible, interpretable, and accountable, by designing and developing novel interactive interfaces for people to easily and enjoyably interact with machine learning systems at scale.

I recieved my B.S. from UW–Madison, where I worked closely with Anthony Gitter, Michael Gleicher, and Yu Hen Hu.
