Research Interests

My expertise lies in health communication, environmental communication, media psychology, and social media. My overarching research goal is to develop theory-driven communication strategies for health and environmental risk management. Specifically, I have mostly utilized quantitative research methods and computational methods to examine the effects of media including messages and technological features on shaping public opinions, knowledge, risk perception, and subsequent behaviors related to a variety of health and environmental topics, ranging from cancer prevention, smoking cessation, the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccination, misinformation debunking, to climate change.
