I am Sang, an Assistant Professor in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Iowa and Co-Director of the Visual Media Lab. My research examines how emerging media technologies, including artificial intelligence, visual media, and digital platforms, reshape journalism and political communication. Using computational and experimental methods, I investigate how political information is produced, circulated, and interpreted among the press, political actors, and the public in contemporary media environments.

My work has been recognized with top paper awards at the International Communication Association (ICA), the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (AEJMC), and the National Communication Association (NCA). My teaching has been recognized with the Excellence in Teaching Award at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and the Best Teaching Idea Award from AEJMC. 

I also received the Faculty Development (Baskett Mosse) Award from AEJMC in recognition of my contributions as an early-career scholar.

My work has been published in flagship journals, including the New Media and Society, Journal of Communication, Communication Methods & Measures, Political Communication, International Journal of Press/Politics, Information, Communication, and Society, Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, and Computational Communication Research, among other peer-reviewed journals.
