Hometown: Chengdu, China
B.S. Degree: Major in Media & Cinema Studies, Minor in Computer Science, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
Current Research Interests: My research interests broadly center on how messages and behavior are designed, spread, and processed, and how emerging technology is shaping interpersonal communication from multidisciplinary perspectives, particularly in health contexts. I primarily use quantitative methods, including computational and statistical approaches. By the way, my cat supervisor for my graduate studies is Luna, a 1-year-old British blue cat who is consistently obsessed with cat snacks.
