Zijie Jay Wang Hi, I'm Jay. I'm a safety researcher at OpenAI. 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 received my ML PhD from Georgia Tech, advised by Polo Chau, with support from Apple and J.P. Morgan fellowships, and honored as a Forbes 30 Under 30 in Science. Say Hello Notes CV News Dec. 6, 2024 Super honored to be named to Forbes 30 Under 30 in Science this year! 🔬 Aug. 13, 2024 I'm thrilled to begin my first full-time role as a safety researcher at OpenAI. I have also moved to San Francisco! 🌉 July 26, 2024 I have successfully defended my PhD thesis! Huge thanks to my incredible committee members: Polo Chau, Judy Hoffman, Munmun De Choudhury, Lauren Wilcox, Jenn Wortman Vaughan, and Rich Caruana!! 🎓 July 10, 2024 I will attend SIGIR'24 in DC to present MeMemo, a JavaScript library that enables vector search and vector database in web browsers. MeMemo won the Best Short Paper, Honorable Mention Award! Let's meet up! 🏛️ April 25, 2024 Farsight is recognized with a Best Paper, Honorable Mention award at CHI 2024! I will attend CHI in Honolulu. Let's meet up! 🌊 show more Featured Publications MeMemo: On-device Retrieval Augmentation for Private and Personalized Text Generation Zijie J.
