Siqi Han is an assistant professor of sociology at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. She is also associated with CUHK’s computational social science cluster. Before joining CUHK she was a postdoctoral research scholar on the Measuring the Liberal Arts project at INCITE, Columbia University. She received her PhD in Sociology from The Ohio State University.
Her work mainly focuses on knowledge structure in higher education, school-to-work transition, and labor market skill returns. She addresses her research questions using both surveys and unstructured textual data with computationally intensive quantitative methods, including chatGPT-assisted data collection and processing. These projects appeared in PNAS, Journal of Marriage and Family, Social Science Research, European Sociological Review, Sociological Perspectives, Demographic Research, Socius, and other academic journals.
Siqi is open to working with prospective graduate students who are interested in social stratification broadly defined. Expertise in statistics and/or programming is a plus. A few ongoing projects of hers include:
- STEM education and STEM career
- Economic returns to complex skill portfolios
- Textual data in higher education
