Dr. Tiantian Jin is a conscientious leader with fierce passion and a pioneering spirit for education. She received advanced training in scientific research at Columbia University, graduating with a Ph.D. in Cognitive Science in Education and a Master’s degree in Learning Analytics. She believes that the true destination of research resides in its application to boost learning effectiveness and make rapid impacts on learners in real life, instead of numbers on research papers. This cannot be achieved merely through academic training. Accordingly, while still at school, she had vigorously started to develop professional skills and broaden her horizon in various types of organizations, such as an EdTech start-up and the New York Times, to search for innovative solutions to education.

After graduation, Tiantian joined Pearson, the largest global education company, as a Senior Teaching & Learning Design Researcher. She led all types of research and used evidence to develop cutting-edge educational solutions. Her current research focuses on how to help students develop 21st-century skills and employability, and how to apply emerging technology to the authentic learning experience. The ultimate goal of all her work is to help students be well prepared for new challenges when they step out of campus and become successful lifelong learners.
