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 Nanjing University, my alma mater, where I gained valuable experience in research management, curriculum design as well as mentoring graduate and undergraduate 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 Humanities and Social Sciences Communications, American Psychologist, New Media & Society, Journal of Information Technology & Politics, Chinese Journal of Communication, International Journal of Business Communication, and Communication and the Public. These works span topics from anonymity technologies and privacy dilemmas to cultural value change in China. With a strong background in computational communication, digital methods, and cross-cultural research, I aim to advance both theory and practice in understanding how digital technologies reshape social life.
