Yuzhe Lei is a master’s student (Research and Theory track) in the School of Journalism and Media at the University of Texas at Austin. He earned his bachelor's degree in Labor and Social Security from the Renmin University of China, with a minor in Journalism, and his first master's degree in Advertising from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, where he developed a keen interest in political communication. Specifically, he aims to study media effects on political attitudes and behaviors, explore the impact of emerging technologies on political life, and apply computational methods to address these issues.
In the future, Yuzhe hopes to become a high-quality paper machine and secure a professorship at the university. However, for now, he simply wants to lose some weight and raise an adorable Shiba Inu.
