I’m a Research Associate in Computational Social Science at Durham University working on a project that intends to produce more realistic artificial social networks (RASN) for simulation by creating a taxonomy of existing generator papers, accessible as an interactive, open-access database, in addition to exploring the interdependencies of social network’s structural properties. I obtained my PhD from University of Glasgow in (2023) where I was working on modelling national identity polarisation on social media platforms using ABMs.

Dr. Jiin Jung is a social psychologist and Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at Lehigh University. She also serves Secretary of the Computational Social Science of the Americas.

She directs the Group Dynamics & Social Change Lab, which is dedicate to investigating psychological explanations for social change. Her lab explores topics such as minority influence on social change, minority responses to identity uncertainty and threat, and minority contributions to collective adaptation.
