Yee Man Margaret Ng (Ph.D., University of Texas) is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Journalism and Department of Computer Science (faculty affiliate) at The University of Illinois Urbana–Champaign. She is a media researcher with certified industrial training in data science and computational methods.

She encourages any highly motivated graduate and undergraduate students to chat with her and the research group for potential research opportunities.
