About

Hi, I’m Mao Tianchan. I’m currently a Ph.D. in Communication Studies at Fudan University (2023). Before that, I received my B. A of Journalism in Zhejiang University(2018). I’m also a visiting Ph.D. student in the Department of Communication and New Media at the National University of Singapore (2022-2023) and was recognized as the China Association for Science and Technology Young Scholar in 2022.

My recent research primarily focuses on platform studies, media industry, and media sociology,, especially how the development of ICTS reshape the structure of digital economy and individual lives. While I have a preference for qualitative research methods, I acknowledge that the academic journey should be multi-approached. Consequently, I’m also keen to use quantitative and computational methods to investigate research questions. I have already published over 10 papers in SSCI, CSSCI, and ICA conferences until now, and successfully led a provincial research project in China, earning academic awards for provincial-level and national-level research contributions.

In my leisure time, I am a literature, art, and cooking enthusiast. I’m also deeply passionate about table tennis, hiking, and yoga. I believe that the essence of academic research lies in a profound dialogue between oneself and nature. Literature, art, history, music, and sports all contribute to enriching our imagination and understanding of the contemporary world.

[Chinese Version]你好，我是毛天婵^_^。我目前是复旦大学新闻学院传播学的博士研究生（2023）。在来到复旦硕博连读之前，我本科毕业于浙江大学新闻系（2018）。同时我也受CSC资助，赴新加坡国立大学传播与新媒体系联合培养一年（2022-2023），并入选了中国科协青年智库人才（2022）。

我近年的研究兴趣主要聚焦于平台研究，传媒产业和数字社会学，尤其是传播技术的发展如何重塑数字社会的经济形态和个体生活。虽然我更偏好于通过质化方法进行研究，但是我深信通往“答案”的道路一定是多种方法并存的，所以我也一样愿意使用量化和计算的方法回答我想要探究的问题。我目前已经在SSCI和CSSCI期刊以及像ICA这样的国际会议上发表了十余篇论文，并且多次获人大报刊资料全文转载,以及中国新闻史学会优秀论文奖、中国新闻史学会优秀学生论文奖、江苏省文化产业学会优秀学术成果一等奖等国家级、省级学术奖项。

在业余时间，我是现当代文学和艺术的爱好者，并且享受烹饪的乐趣。同时，我尤其钟爱打乒乓球、徒步旅行和瑜伽。我相信学术研究的本质是人与广泛自然的深入对话。文学、艺术、历史、音乐、运动，都会提升我们对当下世界理解的想象力。
