I am an Associate Professor and the Director of the School of Journalism and Communication at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). I also serve as the Co-Director of the Computational Social Science Laboratory at CUHK and am an affiliated member of the Web Mining Laboratory at City University of Hong Kong. My research interests include:
I have published dozens of journal articles, many appearing in leading communication journals, including 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, decentralized activism on social media, and the consequences of political incivility.
I am currently the associate editor of Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication and Communication and Society (《傳播與社會學刊》), and serve on the editorial boards of Journal of Communication, Human Communication Research, Communication Theory, Computational Communication Research, among others.
