My name, Qi, reads “key”. I’m trained in both social science and natural science. My research interests include human (verbal) communication, group dynamics, and social systems. I apply mathematical and computational models to social topics. I lead a research project at U.S. Institute of Peace, where I model reconciliation, trust building and counter violent extremism by applying methods like network based ABM, Markov Models and machine learning.
I read extensively. Some of my all-time-favorate writers include Sartre, Marx, Heidegger, Wittgenstein and 鲁迅. “遍览周王传,流观山海图”,我是一个学术探险家(academic adventurist).
