Yuanye Ma is currently a fourth year Ph.D. student at School of Information and Library Science (SILS), the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Yuanye's research interests include information ethics (IE), intercultural information ethics (IIE), and natural language processing (NLP). For her dissertation, Yuanye is interested in examining privacy as an abstract concept under the light of intercultural information ethics, and the goal is that by leveraging computational semantic measures, a more nuanced understanding of the concept of privacy in an inter/cross-cultural environment can be achieved. Before UNC, Yuanye studied library science as her undergraduate degree in Soochow University in China, and obtained her master's degree from University of Michigan, School of information, with a specialization on information policy.
