Bio

Dr. Jiang joined the program of Learning Design and Technology in 2019. She teaches graduate courses for the program, such as Data Visualization, Machine Learning, and Text Mining in Education . Prior to arriving at NC State, Dr. Jiang worked as a postdoctoral associate at Carnegie Mellon University (Advisor: Dr. Carolyn Rosé).

Research Description

Dr. Jiang’s research focuses on integrating digital literacy in STEM learning, such as empowering K-12 AI (Artificial Intelligence) education with narrative modeling (NSF Award # 1949110 and # 2241671). In addition, she designs and studies technology-enhanced interdisciplinary learning environments to facilitate the development of disciplinary identities and engage early adolescents in career exploration.
