About
My research primarily centers around communication technology, science communication, and media effects from the perspective of media psychology. Specifically, I use survey and experimental studies to investigate:
a) How emerging technologies and narratives bring new opportunities and challenges to controversial science topics.
b) How people perceive the connection between extreme weather and anthropogenic climate change from news and social media.
c) How technical affordances influence human behaviors such as media consumption and engagement in the context of science/entertainment.
My research has been published in peer-reviewed journals such as the Journal of Communication, Telematics and Informatics.
