Bosco Hung is a researcher interested in Chinese politics, emerging technology, and computational social science.
My Biography.
Bosco is an MPhil Candidate in International Relations at the University of Oxford (St Anne’s College) and the Co-Founder of the Oxford Computational Political Science Group (OCPSG), a non-partisan research initiative based at the University of Oxford and supported by the Department of Politics and International Relations (DPIR). He graduated with a BSc in Politics and International Relations (first class honours) from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), where he studied on a full scholarship.
Bosco is a Fellow at the Oxford China Policy Lab, a Fellow at the Oxford Group on AI Policy, and a Researcher at the International Team for the Study of Security Verona, at which he delivered research to members of the US Department of State, FBI, and USAID. He is now working on a research project on AI safety with the OECD and co-authoring a paper on developing risk tiers for the advanced AI systems with the Oxford Martin AI Governance Initiative. He has also held research positions at other geopolitical consultancies and research organizations like the Global Studies Institute of Hong Kong and London Politica. He has practical experience in a wide range of qualitative and quantitative (including computational) methods, such as netnography, focus groups, interviews, surveys, archival research, applied regression analysis, quantitative text analysis, and web scraping. During his time at LSE, he served as the President of LSE's international affairs magazine The London Globalist and the Research Director of the LSE Undergraduate Political Review, where he is now sitting on its Board of Directors to provide guidance on its operations.
He has written for the Journal of Computational Social Science, the Journal of Cyber Policy, Tech Policy Press, UDN, Initium Media, The News Lens, and other peer-reviewed publications and magazines. His research was presented in the UK Parliament, the PSA Annual Conference, the MPSA Annual Conference, and other professional settings. Recently, he has been interviewed by France 24, Al Jazeera and Asharq News to provide geopolitical analyses of China’s political economy and global politics. He was also invited to speak at European Parliament's Liaison Office in the UK to the European Parliament's Special Committee on the European Democracy Shield Mission to the United Kingdom about disinformation and media literacy. His research interests focus on Sino-US relations, Chinese politics, computational social science, international political economy, emerging technology, and information warfare.
In recognition of the impacts OCPSG has made and his efforts in promoting the study of computational methods, he was recently invited by DPIR to join its 25 in 25 Collection to celebrate the department's 25th anniversary and share his stories at Oxford. Read his story here.
