Dr. Chen Dakeng is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the School of Governance and Policy Science, CUHK. He received his PhD in Government and Public Administration from CUHK in 2023. His research interests cover computational social science, comparative politics, and digital governance, with a particular focus on how technological advancement is reshaping state control and social dynamics in China. Methodologically, Dr. Chen employs mixed-methods approaches that integrate computational techniques with both quantitative and qualitative analysis. His dissertation examined the effects of digital surveillance on citizen attitudes and behaviors in China. His current project utilizes LLMs to process millions of government records to systematically quantify and explain variations in digital control deployment across China. Dr. Chen also collaborates across disciplines, applying computational approaches to projects in quantitative history, psychology, and fin-tech studies. He currently teaches undergraduate courses on\u00a0Comparative Politics<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0State-Society Relations in China<\/em>, as well as postgraduate courses on\u00a0Institutions and Reforms in China<\/em>\u00a0at CUHK.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n
