Biography

I’m currently a PhD candidate in Department of Applied Social Sciences at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. My PhD research examines how social enterprises acquire organizational legitimacy with consumers and how social enterprises' legitimacy strategies influence consumer behaviors. I also have strong interests in computational social science, especially the application of machine learning, natural language processing and social network analysis in analyzing big data from social media content, crowdfunding platforms and other sources.
