Ruishi Chen
Ph.D. Student in Education, admitted Autumn 2025
BioI use computational methods — including natural language processing, social network analysis, and causal inference — to model how innovations and ideas emerge, spread, and take root across social systems. I am particularly interested in:
- Knowledge Diffusion: how ideas are produced, selected, and diffused through scholarly communication and peer review
- Innovation and Technology Adoption: how organizations and social systems respond to and integrate emerging technologies
- AI in Education: how AI-empowered tools are adopted and used in secondary education
