Jonathan Ivey

I am a PhD Student in Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University co-advised by Anjalie Field and Ziang Xiao. Previously, I completed my undergraduate degrees in data science and mathematics at the University of Arkansas where I was advised by Dr. Susan Gauch and collaborated with Dr. David Jurgens at the University of Michigan.

I am passionate about understanding others, and I am broadly interested in using AI to understand people better. My current research explores that interest by developing AI that can ask good questions (e.g., conducting interviews, doing patient intake). As part of that research, I am also interested in measuring data quality, evaluating conversational systems with simulations, and applying AI in high-stakes domains. Before my PhD, I worked on annotator agreement, LLM simulations, and stress detection.
