My name is Ji MA (马季; first name is pronounced “G”), Assistant Professor at the O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University Bloomington; Visiting Researcher at the Gradel Institute of Charity, University of Oxford.

I work at the intersection of technology and society, across four interrelated research streams: (1) Advanced Technologies for the public and nonprofit sectors; (2) Computational and AI-Assisted Methods for social science research; (3) Knowledge Production for evidence-based policymaking and nonprofit studies; (4) State-Society Relations in China. My publications appear in leading journals across nonprofit studies, public administration and policy, sociology, political science, and data science. Current research directions are detailed here.

In my spare time, I enjoy building open-source projects, tasting tea and hiking with family and friends, practicing Olympic Recurve, and studying Chinese astrology.
