"Science must begin with myths, and with the criticism of myths." - Karl Popper 

Hi there! I am Honglin (he/him). I am a computational social scientist and data science doctoral student in the UChicago Knowledge Lab working with James A. Evans

My papers appear in top peer-reviewed journals and proceedings across computer science, network science, and social sciences including Nature Communications. 

I have backgrounds in mathematics, computer science, social science, and evolutionary biology. Before Chicago I graduated from Michigan State and was a research associate at Harvard Business School (Organizations and Management). I am from Northeast China (东北), and I volunteered for local LGBTQ health for years. My interest in computing and society began in high school where I interned at a local university. In my free time, you’ll often find me in the weight room.

I widely collaborate with other computational social scientists outside Chicago. Drop me an email if you are interested in working together!
