Welcome

I am a Professor at the Graduate Institute of Journalism, National Taiwan University.

My research focuses on politics, technology, and journalism across Asia, Europe, and the United States. I study how the internet, social media, platform algorithms, and artificial intelligence affect journalism, politics, and society.

In 2026, I received the Outstanding Research Award (傑出研究獎) from the National Science and Technology Council, Taiwan.

I am currently Principal Investigator of the National Science and Technology Council’s International Outstanding Young Scholars project (國際年輕傑出學者研究計畫), Global Perspectives on AI: Assessing Public Discourse, Opinion, and Big Tech’s Role.

My work has been published in Political Communication, New Media & Society, Political Behavior, Social Media + Society, Digital Journalism, Communication Research, Government Information Quarterly, Telematics and Informatics, Information, Communication & Society, among other outlets.

I am an associate editor of EPJ Data Science and serve on the editorial boards of New Media & Society, Communication Theory, The International Journal of Press/Politics, and Journal of Quantitative Description: Digital Media.

I received my B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. from the University of Zurich.

If you are interested in research collaboration or supervision, feel free to browse my publications and get in touch by email. Journalists looking for comment on any of my research areas are also welcome to reach out directly.
