Yi Zhang 张奕
Assistant Professor · Department of Sociology · Xiamen University
I am a sociologist studying cities and the people who live in them: how neighborhoods evolve, and how they shape residents’ well-being, health, and life chances. I combine computational social science with spatial analysis, integrating large-scale data with survey data to study these questions.
Before joining Xiamen University in 2024, I earned my Ph.D. at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.
