Biography

I’m a PhD candidate in Department of Applied Social Sciences at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. My research interests primarily lie in the field of social entrepreneurship, organizational legitimacy and computational methods. My PhD research examines how social enterprises build legitimacy using cultural devices, how consumers make legitimacy judgment towards social enterprises and how social enterprises' legitimacy influence consumers' subsequent responses. I employ experimental techniques and computational methods including topic modeling and image analysis in my PhD research. My recent research expands to the field of emerging technologies(Blockchain, NFT and metaverse) and artificial intelligence for social good.
