Overview

I am a PhD student at Cardiff University. My research direction is the impact of digital media technology on cultural dissemination. I am particularly interested in interdisciplinary studies.

Over the past three years, I have published two articles. The first one was published during my undergraduate years,a study on gender discrimination on social media platforms. The second one was published during my graduate studies, research on marketing strategies for self-media. Additionally,during my undergraduate year, I participated in a project in collaboration with an NGO to promote and publicize the campaign against school bullying and to focus on students'mental health. My main task was to promote and market the activities and products within the project using social media platforms.
