Biography
Jaehwuen (Jae) Jung is an associate professor of Management Information Systems at Fox School of Business, Temple University. The overarching theme of his current research is to examine the impact of new technology channels, digital platforms, and technology-enabled features on user behavior and firms’ outcomes, with specific interests in: i) peer influence and social contagion and ii) online matching platform design. His research draws on theories from information systems, marketing, economics, and social psychology and uses an interdisciplinary multi-method approach, including conducting large-scale randomized field experiments and analyzing data using econometric analysis, and machine learning techniques, to understand the underlying mechanisms at work that support causal inference. To date, his research has been published in several leading journals, such as Information Systems Research, MIS Quarterly, and Management Science.
He has received a Ph.D. in Business Administration from Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota and holds an M.S in Management Engineering and B.S. in Industrial Engineering from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). Before joining the Ph.D program, Jae worked for 6.5 years as an IT application architect, serving in many capacities relating to project management, IT systems integration, and legacy systems migration. He has been named a recipient of the ISS Gordon B. Davis Young Scholar Award for 2024.
