Hi, there! 

My name is Sungwon, and I am a second-year Ph.D. student in Journalism and Media at the University of Texas at Austin. 

As a trained interdisciplinary social science researcher, I study how people communicate on social media using a sociological theoretical framework and computational methods. Mainly I’m interested in digital activism and health communication. 

Currently, I work as a graduate research assistant in the computational media lab, directed by Dr. Dhiraj Murthy.
