I am an Associate Professor in the School of Journalism and Communication at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). I am also the Associate Director of the Computational Social Science Laboratory at CUHK and an affiliated member at the Web Mining Laboratory at City University of Hong Kong. My research interests include:
I have published dozens of journal articles, many appearing in the foremost communication journals, such as Journal of Communication, Communication Research, Human Communication Research, Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, and New Media & Society. I have also published in public health, information science, political science, sociology, and other interdisciplinary journals. I am currently working on several interdisciplinary projects related to human-AI communication using computational methods and field experiments, leaderless activism on social media, and the consequences of political incivility.
