Biography

Gyo “Hyun” Koo, Ph.D. (The University of Texas at Austin) is an Assistant Professor at Howard University’s Department of Communication, Culture and Media Studies (CCMS). 

Her research explores how journalistic practice and communication technologies shape people's knowledge, perceptions, and behavior, with a focus on their implications for democracy. In her recent work, she used surveys, experimental, and computational methods to examine how news, political entertainment, and information technologies — along with those who develop and use them — shape public understanding of social issues and beliefs in misdisinformation, and influence civic engagement.

She teaches Political Communication & Public Opinion, Communication Theories & Research Foundation, Health Communication Seminar (Data Science), and Technology & Health Communication.
