Joy is a second-year PhD student in Information Science and Technology at Syracuse University. With a background in biology and expertise in library and information science, she adopts an interdisciplinary approach to research. She is a member of the Metadata Lab (click here).

 

Her research focuses on knowledge organization (KO) and the science of science (SoS), particularly in biological knowledge representation and ontology construction. She applies classification theories and semantic measures, influenced by Kuhn's paradigm shifts, to analyze how knowledge structures evolve and influence computational models. Joy is also interested in how machine learning models and trustworthy large language models (LLMs) leverage knowledge bases to advance bioinformatical research. Additionally, she uses social network analysis to examine collaboration patterns among biomedical researchers in publication networks.​​
