Long Bio
Ujun Jeong’s research focuses on modeling user behavior in interconnected platform ecosystems, examining how their interactions across platforms reshape information flow, community formation, migration, and broader platform dynamics. He develops multi-method frameworks that combine graph learning, agent-based simulation, econometrics, and time-series forecasting. By building machine learning models grounded in sociological theory, my work aims to derive actionable insights from complex social systems to support engaging and safe digital environments.
His work has been published in leading conferences in data mining and computational social science such as SDM, ICWSM, CIKM, and IEEE Big Data, etc. In particular, he is recipient of the best paper award at ASONAM multidisciplinary track. His works have also been featured in news media such as Science magazine, ACM tech review, and Research Professional News.
