Bio

Specializing in Political Communication and Computational Methods of Social Science, I am interested in how information flows and circulates through media. I'm particularly fascinated by belief systems, and how they mold our perceptions, ideologies, political identities, and biases, as well as the reflection of the process on social media. My methodology leans into understanding data structures and building robust models to decode social phenomena.

My advisors are Dr. Magdalena Wojcieszak and Dr. Soojong Kim.
