Welcome!

I currently work as a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Communications and New Media at National University of Singapore. Previously, I taught and conducted research at School of Journalism and Communication, Nanjing University, my alma mater, where I gained valuable experience in curriculum design, research management, as well as mentoring undergraduate and graduate students.

I received my Ph.D. in Communication in 2022 from the City University of Hong Kong (CityU), where I was intellectually nurtured within the Web Mining Laboratory, founded and coordinated by the esteemed Chair Professor of Computational Social Science and ICA Fellow Prof. Jonathan J. H. Zhu at the Department of Media and Communication. A Computational Social Scientist in Communication by training, with over a decade of experience conducting computational social science research at the intersection of digital media, data science, and cultural analysis, I specialize in text-as-data methods, computational modeling, and large-scale digital datasets, with applications to online safety, information dynamics, and social change.

My research have appeared in top communication and interdisciplinary journals such as New Media & Society, EPJ Data Science, American Psychologist, Journal of Information Technology & Politics, Chinese Journal of Communication, Journal of Social Issues, International Journal of Business Communication, Communications: The European Journal of Communication Research, Humanities and Social Sciences Communications, and Communication and the Public. With a strong background in computational communication, digital methods, and cross-cultural research, I aim to advance theory and practice by developing deeper insights into how digital technologies are transforming cultural and social life.
