Jonathan Zhu, Director of CCR and Chair Professor of Computational Social Science, has since July 1, 2018, become a jointly appointed faculty member with the newly established School of Data Science (SDSc) at City University of Hong Kong. “I'm excited about the new position,” Jonathan explained, “because it will provide a lot of new opportunities for interdisciplinary research and training between communication and data science.” 

Prof Zhu has helped SDSc to design a new core course on computational social science and a set of five elective courses for the module of social media analytics.
