👋🏻Hi, I’m Jessie, an AI researcher and filmmaker.

I’m Jessie (Huiyu) Jia 贾惠妤!
Computer Science undergrad @ Cornell, minoring in AI & Film.
From Guangzhou 🇨🇳, now based in Princeton, NJ and Ithaca, NY 🇺🇸 .

🤖 Computer Science: Robotics & Human-AI Interaction

Watching HER sparked my curiosity about how AI shapes daily life—from smart homes to emotional companions.

I love exploring these questions through robotics, human-computer interaction (HCI), and creative computing. My project ranges from Sim2Real Robot learning, and building LLM-powered tools for cyberbullying education.

🎬 Filmmaking & Visual Storytelling

I work mostly in the camera department 🎥, as Director of Photography, Assistant Camera, Gaffer, crafting emotionally resonant stories. My past works include promotional content for Cornell’s Performing & Media Arts and short films selected for prestigious festivals.

I’m also a dedicated film nerd—you’ll find me at indie theaters around NYC (Metrograph, IFC Center, Film Forum, Film at Lincoln Center). Follow my film adventures on Letterboxd👀.

✨ Spoiler Alert: I’ve booked my ticket for Cannes 2025 already!

Always looking for creative intersections of technology and storytelling—whether in research, engineering, or filmmaking.

Got a cool project? Let’s connect! Drop me a message via email or Instagram 😊.
