  • 个人简介

    2014年从美国纽约州立大学布法罗分校毕业,获传播学博士学位。先后任职于德州理工大学、拉玛大学。2018年回国,现就职于华南理工大学新闻与传播学院,教授、博士生导师。此外,我还担任广东省公众健康风险监测与信息传播中心(省级智库)副主任、中国新闻史学会健康传播专委会常务理事、中国老龄传播学会常委、SSCI期刊Asian Journal of Communication编委会成员等职务。

    作为一名健康传播学者,我的研究关注健康信息设计与传播效果。这一两年来,我的研究开始转向智能健康传播。我认为智能健康传播与传统健康传播最大的不同在于,原本作为信息传播渠道的媒介在人工智能时代兼具工具与行动者的双重属性。因此,作为行动者的健康智能体将如何影响健康传播效果?人机关系的缔结将如何影响健康传播效果?这些都是我最近一两年研究的关注焦点。

    在生活上,我努力做一个有趣的人。我喜欢一切与文化、艺术、历史相关的东西,因此博物馆、美术馆是我常去的地方。我尤其热衷于音乐剧。我最爱的音乐剧是《悲惨世界》,其次是《伊丽莎白》。同时我也坚持健身。这些兴趣爱好让我在繁忙的工作之余仍能保持活力,保持对生活的兴趣和热情。我也期待同样热爱生活、热爱科研的你加入我的研究团队!
