Biography

Hey there! I’m a first-year PhD student at UCLA studying how people engage with political news on social media, specifically what happens when people consume legacy media on social media. I use experiments, surveys, and analyze big data to conduct my research, and I am advised by Dr. Stuart Soroka. I am a recipient of the Department of Communication Award, Graduate Dean’s Scholar Award, and Graduate Summer Research Mentorship Award at UCLA. You can reach me at jiyhwang@g.ucla.edu
