Keng-Chi Chang
Hello. I am a M.S. & Ph.D. Candidate at UC San Diego.
My research interests lie in the realm of computational social science, unified by the desire to understand how new technologies and media environments are reshaping collective political behaviors via social networks and mis/information.
My research is driven by the following questions: How can we leverage computing and the data revolution to learn about fundamental political and societal problems; how are these new technologies changing political and economic behaviors such as news consumption, democratic elections, and protests; and how can we design better research methods to answer these questions?
My dissertation research has been funded by NSF/APSA and the Rapoport Family Foundation. My recent works have been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Journal of Communication, PLOS One, and Journal of Quantitative Description: Digital Media, as well as peer-reviewed Computer Science conferences.
