Dr. Huang's research examines how emerging sociotechnical systems shape the media environments of news and political information, as well as their civic consequences. Specifically, Dr. Huang is pursuing three lines of inquiry:

1. How do sociotechnical curation systems shape online news exposure opportunities and engagement?

2. How does the public perceive and interact with the AI-mediated information environment?

3. How do these technical changes and public understanding reshape political judgment and learning? 

To answer these questions, Dr. Huang uses computational analyses of large-scale digital trace data, along with algorithm audits, experiments, surveys, and behavioral measurements. Check Dr. Huang's research here.
