Jian Gao's research interests lie in the burgeoning interdisciplinary fields of Computational Social Science, Science of Science, and Computational Socioeconomics. He uses massive, large-scale datasets and develops computational approaches to study complex social and economic systems. His recent work explores AI for science and the interaction between science and society, covering social dynamics, public policy, innovation, education, and more.
He was trained in the departments of applied mathematics, computer science, physics, media arts & sciences, and management, where he developed a growing interest in conducting interdisciplinary research. He received his BSc in Information and Computing Science and Ph.D. in Computer Science, both from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC). During his Ph.D. study, he was an exchange student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Before HKU, he was a postdoctoral research fellow and then a research assistant professor at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. He was a researcher at the Northwestern Institute on Complex Systems (NICO), a visiting scholar at Boston University, and a graduate research assistant at The MIT Media Lab.
His interdisciplinary experiences fueled his vision to translate research findings into meaningful social impact. His work has been published in leading journals such as Science, Physics Reports, Nature Human Behaviour, and Nature Communications and covered by global media outlets such as Nature (News), Science (Careers), Scientific American, Forbes, and China Daily.
