My name is Chao Yu. I am currently an assistant professor in the Department of Integrated Marketing Communications at Northwestern University. I received my PhD in Communication from Cornell University. 

My research focuses on social impacts of new media. I use big data studies to uncover hidden patterns on new media platforms that can create inequalities or biases, as well as identifying policies and strategies to improve them.
