Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKevin Zheng is a PhD student at the University of Michigan’s School of Information with nine years of experience building research methods and software tools for studying online platforms and communities. Advised by Christian Sandvig and Eric Gilbert, he blends mixed-methods social computing and computational social science to collect, analyze, and interpret social media and platform infrastructure data. His work includes research fellowships and practical roles—ranging from international hate monitoring at Media Cloud to public-interest technology at the CFPB—demonstrating an ability to move between policy-facing projects and technical system-building. Kevin has a multidisciplinary foundation from UMass Amherst (BS/BA) and a track record of community engagement and tool development that surfaces hard-to-measure online behaviors. An interesting through-line in his career is the consistent pairing of hands-on software development internships with roles that emphasize research translation and community stewardship.
