Yeojin Yang ( Mater's student)
Yeojin is currently a graduate student in Sociology at Korea University and has a bachelor’s degree in Korean history and Sociology at the same institution. Her academic interests lie in the sociological significance of history and art. She believes that examining the history and art of a society is an essential process to understand that society. Through the lens of data science, she wants to research the societal significance of history and art – how they are perceived by individuals, the impact they have on a society, and their influence on other societies or future generations. |
Haesol Kim ( Mater's student)
Haesol is a graduate student studying Sociology at Korea University. She is interested in how uncontrollable and unexpected events, including disaster, war, economic crisis, and disease, inflict varying degrees of risks and costs on different social groups. Her academic agenda seeks to answer how such engendered risks and costs can be mitigated or averted in advance for the most vulnerable social groups and also how opportunities for sociopolitical involvement provided for marginalized citizens can impact the viability of risk mitigation strategies. She believes that the social indicators identifying the mentioned vulnerability, abrupt events, risk, and cost can be constructed and examined by adopting data science and computational methods.

Jeongbeen Lim (Master’s student)
Jeongbeen is a graduate student studying Sociology at Korea University and graduated with her BA in Psychology at Iowa State University in 2021. Her main sociological focus topics are inequality, juvenile delinquency, and data science. Using the data behind the Internet and applications, she hopes to discover factors that gradually evolve youth deviations and will be reflected in social context & policies. She also studies what patterns are formed by visualizing indicators of educational inequality for the disabled with using computational methods.

Soomin Song (MA, PhD Candidate at University of Massachusetts Amherst, Communication Studies, 2024 Fall)
Soomin is currently a graduate student in Sociology at Korea University and has a bachelor's degree in Sociology and GLEAC(Global Leader for East Asian Century) at Korea University. Her sociological interests include social network, inequality, and diversity. Throughout the internet and social media, she wants to discover the data that reflects social movement and constructions and integrate it with reality to create a better society. She believes quantifying our real life in a social science way can examine the impact of social context and social classes on human behavior. With data science and social network analysis, she studies how social solidarity and shared values are reconstructed into objective indicators and form patterns.
