Dr. Liu received her PhD in Management Systems Engineering from the
Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Virginia Tech. Georgia also
holds a B.Sc. in Industrial and Systems Engineering from Beihang University
(BUAA; formerly known as Beijing University of Aeronautics and
Astronautics).
During her PhD, Georgia focused on management in safety-critical roles,
explicitly investigating the roles of workload, human errors, organizational
learning, and forgetting in socio-technical systems. Georgia was also a PhD.
resident at GoogleX, focusing on the intersection between system dynamics
and large language models (LLMs) to address systemic disparities. Georgia
joined the MGH Institute for Technology Assessment (ITA) in April 2024 as a
postdoctoral fellow working with Dr. Mohammad Jalali (“MJ”). Currently, her
research centers around developing simulating models to reduce maternal
morbidity and alcohol/substance-exposed pregnancy (ASEP) health disparities
for American Indian communities.
Georgia’s research interests include simulation modeling, machine learning,
system dynamics, and dynamic decision-making. Her research aims to improve
understanding of the complexities in socio-technical environments arising
from adapting to autonomous technology.
