Who i am
About Me
Hi, there! My name is Yue Zhang. I am a doctoral student in the Department of Communication at Michigan State University.
The main focus of my research is the intersection between interpersonal communication and health communication using computational social science techniques. Particularly, I am interested in examining the unfolding process of how communication can help people cope better with stressors (transitions/ shift in social identity, etc.), improve their resilience, and facilitate their psychological well-being.
Besides research, I am a big fan of
- outdoor activities such as hiking, kayaking...
- playing the piano, anything related to music
- art exhibitions, museums, literature..
I am willing to discuss any of those with you:)
Don't hesitate to contact me zhan1600@msu.edu
