Jenny Liang (she/her/hers)

I'm an undergraduate researcher at the University of Washington. I'm fascinated by how we can build intelligent and personalized developer tools using software engineering (SE), human-computer interaction (HCI), and applied machine learning (ML).

I've had the privilege of doing research with the Code & Cognition Lab and the Information & Communication Technologies for Development (ICTD) Lab. I currently am a research intern on the MOSAIC team at the Allen Institute of Artificial Intelligence.

Before doing research, I did software engineering at Microsoft, Apple, and Uber. I intend to use my engineering background and broad research background to drive my SE research.
