王诗尧
I am a PhD student in Management at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) and a recipient of the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme (HKPFS). I graduated with honors from the University of Chicago's MSCAPP program (jointly offered by the Harris School of Public Policy and the Department of Computer Science) and hold dual Bachelor's degrees in Economics and Mathematics from Renmin University of China.
My area of focus is Organizational Behavior, and I am particularly interested in Social Cognition and Cultural Evolution. For example - how stereotypes form, persist, and shift — and how these cognitive and cultural processes leave their marks on organizations.
To investigate these questions, I use Computational Methods — including natural language processing (NLP), word embeddings, agent-based modeling, and topic modeling — often applied to large-scale archival and textual data.
I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Ying Lin at HKUST. I was previously advised by Prof. Xuechunzi Bai (University of Chicago, Psychology) and have also worked with Prof. Junjian Yi (Peking University, National School of Development).
Investigating how social stereotypes and group perceptions form, persist, and evolve across time and cultures — and how cultural transmission shapes the cognitive landscape of social groups.
Examining how social cognitive processes such as leadership, stereotypes, and creativity shape outcomes in organizational settings.
I use computational methods ranging from word embeddings, topic modeling, to agent-based modeling to analyze large-scale text and behavioral data.
