Dr Jiahui Luo (Jess) is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Education Policy and Leadership, the Education University of Hong Kong. She obtained her doctoral degree from the University of Hong Kong as a recipient of the Philip KH Wong Foundation Postgraduate Fellowship. Prior to that, she completed her MPhil at the University of Cambridge as a fully funded International Cambridge Trust Scholar and earned her BA from Sun Yat-sen University with first-class honours.

As an academic, Jess studies the social, relational and ethical implications of advanced technologies (in particular, GenAI) on educational assessment, as well as the governance/regulation of these technologies through education policies at different levels (in particular, higher education). Her research has been published in high-impact international journals such as Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, Educational Research Review, and Teaching in Higher Education. In recognition of her research performance, Jess was awarded the 2023 HKU Foundation Publication Award (RPG). She is also the Principal Investigator of several external and internal research grants on GenAI and higher education, including one funded by the Hong Kong Research Grant Council under the prestigious Early Career Scheme.

In addition to research, Jess is passionate about enhancing teaching and learning in higher education. She is experienced in developing teaching and learning resources/programmes for university teachers and students and has served as the facilitator, mentor, and panel moderator for multiple high-profile educational events and forums. Prior to joining EdUHK, Jess was a research member of the Teaching and Learning Enhancement and Research Group (TLERG) and the Teaching and Learning Innovation Centre (TALIC) at the University of Hong Kong.
