Songpo Yang (杨松坡)

Greetings!

I am a Boya Postdoctoral Fellow at the School of International Studies, Peking University. At PKU, I primarily work with Xun Pang on interdisciplinary research at the intersection of social science and artificial intelligence, and I serve as Assistant Director of the PKU Analytics Lab for Global Risk Politics.

I obtained my PhD in political science from the Department of International Relations, Tsinghua University and was a visiting PhD student in the Department of Political Science at Columbia University from September 2022 to October 2023. During my time at Columbia, I was advised by Junyan Jiang and Naoki Egami. I also hold an M.A. from Johns Hopkins SAIS, an M.L. from Tsinghua university, and a BA from the University of International Business and Economics. Prior to pursuing my doctoral studies, I worked at CITIC Securites Asset Management.

My research spans global governance, elite politics, and Chinese politics, with a broader interest in applying AI-driven and multimodal methods to questions in the social sciences. My work has been published on American Political Science Review, International Affairs, among others.

我很想告诉他，可能翻过山后面，你会发觉没有什么特别。回头看会觉得这边更好。
但是他不会相信 —— 
以他的性格，自己不试过又怎会甘心？”
