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.

Jess's research focuses on (1) how emerging technologies, particularly generative AI, impact the ethical, relational and affective dimensions of educational assessment, (2) the governance/regulation of these technologies through education policies at different levels (mainly at higher education level), and (3) the issue around student cheating and academic integrity in the digital age. 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) and 2025 Editor's Choice Award by Teaching in Higher Education Journal. 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.
