#I stand for open science

Hi there! I am Honglin (he/him), a computational social science research associate in D^3/Harvard Business School working with Drs. Anjali Bhatt and Amit Goldenberg. I also collaborate on papers with Dr. Misha Teplitskiy (UMichigan School of Information) and NC State Network Analysis Group

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

I have training in mathematics, computer science, social science, and evolutionary biology and I draw multidisciplinary theories to enrich my research. Before coming to HBS I graduated from Michigan State where I researched multi-agent learning in games. I also volunteered for LGBTQ health in China. I am a big fan of sports, sometimes competitively.
