                I am now an Assistant Professor in Information 
                  Systems and Management at Carnegie 
                  Mellon University's Heinz College. 
                My research specialty concentrates 
                  on studying the economics of information technology using inter-disciplinary 
                  approaches combining econometrics, structural modeling, Bayesian 
                  modeling and randomized field experiments, with crowd-sourcing, 
                  human computation and machine learning techniques like text 
                  mining, sentiment analysis and image classification. More specifically, 
                  I am interested in online social media and search engine marketing. 
                  My PhD dissertation research focuses on examining how information 
                  created in various social media channels affect the online market. 
                  In particular, I am studying how such effect may change the 
                  economic decisions and marketing strategies of online search 
                  engines, and how the design of different search mechanisms on 
                  search engines may influence the subsequent behavior of market 
                  players (e.g., firms and consumers) and the consequences in 
                  market efficiency. For 
                  more information, here is my CV.
