Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRijul Jain is a CSE PhD student and graduate research assistant at the University of Washington who blends computational research with humanities training in nineteenth-century aesthetic theory and the philosophy of history. With four years of research and software experience, he has built tools and conducted empirical co-design studies to rethink search and discovery in digital collections while producing digital humanities scholarship. His internship work spans Microsoft Research (studying proof-oriented programming users) and Carnegie Mellon (LLM-driven domain-specific program generation), and he contributed front-end and editor features to the notable Penrose diagramming project, adding SVG rendering improvements and an LLM-based program generation interface. Comfortable across C++, R, web stacks, and experimental design, he pairs rigorous empirical methods with practical engineering to surface surprising behaviors and new interaction possibilities in systems.
