I am an Anna Julia Cooper Research Fellow (2025-26) and an incoming assistant professor (starting in fall 2026) in Educational Psychology at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. I earned my joint Ph.D. in Quantitative Psychology and Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Notre Dame in 2025, advised by Prof. Zhiyong Johnny Zhang and Prof. Meng Jiang. Prior to that, I received my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Technology at Sichuan University in 2020.

My research explores the intersection of psychometrics, machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), and computational social science. I am particularly passionate about developing computational approaches that synthesize quantitative and qualitative data to uncover new insights in education, psychology, and health. Additionally, I’m interested in analyzing social media to explore topics such as public perception, social bias, and digital feminism.

I am open to admitting graduate students for fall 2026 matriculation. If you are interested in working with me, please send me an email at lingbo[dot]tong[at]wisc[dot]edu with your CV and a brief introduction of your research interests and experience.
