Dr. Chung-hong Chan ist wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter im Institut für Medien- und Kommunikationswissenschaft und Projektmitarbeiter im Mannheimer Zentrum für Europäische Sozialforschung, Universität Mannheim. Er promovierte in der Kommunikationswissenschaft an der Universität Hong Kong und studierte Biostatistik und Epidemiologie an der Chinesischen Universität Hongkong. Bevor er Medien- und Kommunikationswissenschaftler wurde, arbeitete er in einem Krankenhaus 10 Jahre als Statistiker. In seiner Doktorarbeit untersuchte er den Zusammenhang zwischen Cyberbalkanisierung und gesellschaftlicher Polarisierung.
Unter der Führung von Professor Hartmut Wessler erforscht er “Verantwortliche Terrorismusberichterstattung” (ein DFG-Projekt). Er nutzt unterschiedliche Computational Methods, um die internationale Terrorismusberichterstattung seit 1945 zu analysieren. Seine Forschungsinteressen sind Cyberbalkanisierung, Polarisierung, Intervention in Onlineplattformen, Text-Mining, Analyse sozialer Netzwerke und Metaanalyse/
In der Lehre unterrichtet er “Quantitative-Methoden”-Seminare für Masterstudiengänge.
