I am Wu Jinfeng (吴锦峰), a Ph.D. candidate in Social Science at the Social Science Division, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). I am currently a visiting student at MIT Sloan (2026 Spring term). I obtained my M.Phil. and Bachelor’s degree from the Sociology department at Fudan University. 

My research interests include Political Sociology and Political Communication. I explore the patterns and influences (e.g., Media and Daily Experiences) of public opinion to understand the dynamic relationship between citizens and government.
