Hello, my name is Zhiliang Lin (林志良 🔉 listen). I am currently a Teaching Associate at Guangzhou Nanfang College. Before this position, I was a Research Associate under the guidance of Guangchao Charles Feng at Shenzhen University. I hold a master’s degree from Jinan University (Guangzhou) and a bachelor’s degree from the Southwestern University of Finance and Economics.
I am deeply interested in utilizing quantitative methods to investigate human communication phenomena. My hands-on experience with several academic projects has led to (co)authoring several papers in both English and Chinese.
Outside academia, I enjoy a variety of pursuits including reading, running, gardening, and playing football.
