Donghyun Kang is a Postdoctoral Scholar at the Knowledge Lab at the University of Chicago. His research focuses on the emergence, diffusion, and evolution of ideas and practices in science, technology, and civic domains. By combining computational methods such as natural language processing, statistical modelling, and network embedding techniques with theoretical insights from the sociology of knowledge and social studies of science, Kang aims to advance our understanding of the social conditions and processes that shape the development of science and human knowledge.
