Welcome

I'm Irina Jie Bao, a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Accounting and Information Systems at Rutgers University. I earned my bachelor's degree from Fudan University in China.

My research interests encompass a broad spectrum of areas, including Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Large Language Models (LLMs), auditing, the economics of regulation, accounting standards, and the gamification of accounting education. I am particularly focused on exploring the potential applications of LLMs in ESG contexts, such as extracting and analyzing data from ESG reports and enhancing ESG assurance. Furthermore, I have developed and recorded an online course consisting of six modules and 21 sessions, focusing on the application of Generative AI in ESG-related topics. The course is available on the Coursera platform.
