Hi, I’m Xinyu Fu.

I’m an Assistant Professor of Computer Information Systems at the J. Mack Robinson College of Business, Georgia State University. I am fascinated by what makes human–AI collaboration greater than the sum of its parts. Specifically, my research explores how different human–AI configurations shape human performance, the organization of work, and the consequences of AI use.

My PhD is in Information Systems and Technology Management, from the Katz Graduate School of Business at the University of Pittsburgh, where I was advised by Dr. Dennis Galletta and Dr. Narayan Ramasubbu. I spent the summer of 2019 as a visiting scholar at Harvard University.
