Ph.D. Student in Sociology

I am a Ph.D. student in Sociology at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, with a concentration in computational social science. My research lies at the intersection of computational social science, social networks, and social stratification.
My dissertation develops a network approach to studying occupational assortative mating in the United States and China. I also work on projects related to government Weibo, quantitative text analysis, and the use of large language models in social science research.
