王诗尧
I am a Master's student at the University of Chicago, jointly enrolled in the Department of Computer Science and Harris School of Public Policy. I hold dual Bachelor's degrees in Economics and Mathematics from the Renmin University of China. I will be joining the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) as a PhD student in Management starting Fall 2026.
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. Xuechunzi Bai (University of Chicago, Psychology) and have previously worked with Prof. Junjian Yi (Peking University, National School of Development). I will be joining HKUST as a PhD student advised by Prof. Ying Lin.
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.
