About Me
Hello! My name is Jihye Lee. I'm an Assistant Professor in the School of Advertising and Public Relations at UT Austin's Moody College of Communication.
My research studies social inequality in technology contexts, such as conversational AI, government public benefits, and health information. My work primarily uses computational methods to take an ecological approach to studying individuals' information experiences in daily life. For example, I have conducted intensive longitudinal field studies that use mobile sensing and vision-language processing.
I received my Ph.D. in Communication from Stanford University. My dissertation, A tale of two Americas: How rich and poor navigate the digital landscape, received the Herbert S. Dordick Dissertation Award from International Communication Association (ICA). My work has received a top paper award from National Communicatino Association (NCA).
My research has been published in peer-reviewed journals, including New Media & Society, The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, Computers in Human Behavior, and Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly among others. My work has been supported by the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI), UT Austin's Center for Health Communication, The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, The Brown Institute for Media Innovation, etc.
I received a B.A. in Political Science and M.A. in Communication from Seoul National University in South Korea.
