Andy Guess (Ph.D. Columbia University) is an Assistant Professor of Politics and Public Affairs at Princeton University. His research and teaching interests lie at the intersection of political communication, public opinion, and political behavior. Via a combination of experimental methods, large datasets, machine learning, and innovative measurement, he studies how people choose, process, spread, and respond to information about politics. Recent work investigates the extent to which online Americans' news habits are polarized (the popular "echo chambers" hypothesis), patterns in the consumption and spread of online misinformation, and the effectiveness of efforts to counteract misperceptions encountered on social media. Coverage of these findings has appeared in The New York Times, The New Yorker, Slate, The Chronicle of Higher Education, and other publications.

Principal Investigator
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
JungHwan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He studies how media affect their users in this increasingly fragmented, ever more customizable, and socially connected media environment where people can generate their own content and share their views. He is particularly interested in how people select political information according to own interest, how people express their own opinion on conflicting political issues, and how these media behaviors are related to political polarization in society.
