Welcome!

This's Yigang Qin [ɪgʌn tʃɪn], a PhD student at the School of Information Studies at Syracuse University, advised by Dr. EunJeong Cheon. I obtained my bachelor's degree in computer science at City University of Hong Kong, where I was advised by Dr. Zhicong Lu. I was born in Sichuan, China, spent four years in Hong Kong, and now live in Syracuse, USA.

My research falls in the fields of Human-computer interaction (HCI), social computing, and Science and technology studies (STS). I use interviews, ethnography, content analysis, and computational methods to study information infrastructures from a sociotechnical lens with input from HCI, STS, and sociology.

I enjoy novels, movies, photography, painting, rock music, and spicy food.
Feel free to reach out for research opportunities or simply chats!
