teaching

I have taught several interdisciplinary courses on digital media and human communication, multimedia storytelling, and the application of data science for social impacts.

I am looking for PhD/Mphil students and research interns working for interdisciplinary projects related to computational journalism and data-driven storytelling, social media data analytics, and digital popular culture. Please email me your CV and credentials if you are interested. You are also welcome to apply the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme (HKPFS).
