I am Tai-Quan “Winson” Peng, a Professor in the Department of Communication at Michigan State University, USA.

Currently, I serve as the Editor-in-Chief of Human Communication Research (2025-). Previously, I was an Associate Editor for the Journal of Communication (2022 - 2024). I have also co-edited special issues for Communication Methods and Measures (2018), Asian Journal of Communication (2019), and the Journal of Communication (ongoing).

My research interest includes computational social science, health communication, audience analysis, and political communication. I am particularly interested in unraveling the structure & dynamics of human communication phenomena with various computational methods (e.g., network modeling, text mining, temporal and sequential modeling).

My research outputs have appeared in top-ranked journals of communication science, information science, public health, and computer science, such as Communication Methods and Measures, Communication Research, Human Communication Research, New Media & Society, Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, Journal of Informetrics, JASIST, Scientometrics, AIDS Care, International Journal of Medical Informatics, Journal of Medical Internet Research, ACM Transactions on Intelligent Systems and Technology, EPJ Data Science, IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, and elsewhere. My research has received funding support from the National Science Foundation and Microsoft in the United States, the Academic Research Fund and National Research Foundation in Singapore, the Macao Foundation in Macao, and the General Research Fund in Hong Kong.
