About me

I am an Associate Professor in the School of Communication at the Ohio State University (OSU). My research concerns the processes and effects of social networks and communication technologies on promoting physical and mental health. Specifically, my research aims to understand and design online social networks that enhance exchanges of social support, the spread of credible health information, and social influence for health behavior change and improved psychological well-being. My work has regularly appeared in journals such as Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, Journal of Communication, Communication Research, and Health Communication.

Before joining the faculty at OSU, I was an associate professor in the Department of Communication at Michigan State University. I was affiliated with the Health Risk Communication Center and the Trifecta initiative for interdisciplinary research across colleges of Engineering, Nursing, and Communication. I have received a million grant from National Science Foundation for interdisciplinary research on using mobile sensing technologies to combat depression on college campuses.

I completed my Ph.D. in Communication in 2014 from Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism at University of Southern California (USC). My committee members were Margaret McLaughlin, Peter Monge, and Janet Fulk. Prior to USC, I received my double Bachelor's degrees in journalism and economics from Peking University.
