Meryl Ye

Hello! I’m a first-year PhD student at Carnegie Mellon University in the School of Computer Science’s Software and Societal Systems Department. My advisor is Patrick Park.
I study how people present themselves and share information in digital social environments. My recent interests include audience management, self-disclosure, and parasocial interaction — with a focus on how platform design and affordances shape these behaviors. More broadly, I’m interested in the intersection of computational social science (CSS), human-computer interaction (HCI), and social media.
I graduated from Cornell University in 2023 with a B.S. in Computer Science. I am grateful to have worked with Malte Jung and Jon Kleinberg in my undergraduate research.
I’m always happy to connect with new people. Whether you’re curious about my work, thinking about grad school, or just want to talk ideas, feel free to send me an email!
