🧍♂️ Biography
I received a B.A. degree in Journalism from Shandong University, Jinan, China, in 2020 and a M.A. degree in Journalism and Communication from Xiamen Univerisity, Xiamen, China, in 2023. I am currently working toward an PhD. degree in Communication at the School of Journalism and Communication, Renmin University of China, Beijing, China.
My research focuses on technology-mediated communication and digital governance, particularly how AI, digital media, and social platforms shape public perception, trust, and organizational responses in risk and crisis contexts.
My research interests include
- Human–computer interaction
- Digital governance and crisis communication
- Media psychology and public trust in risk contexts
As the first or corresponding author on 7 CSSCI papers and 5 SSCI articles, I have published my works. Details are provided below.
In my spare time, I read, take photograph, work out and watch movies.
