OverviewAI-generated summary

Mayor Inna Gurung's research focuses on the diffusion and influence of narratives within digital social networks. Her work investigates how information, particularly in the form of narratives, spreads through platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. Gurung employs computational modeling, drawing on epidemiological theories, to understand the dynamics of narrative contagion and polarization. She has explored the role of semiotics and visual media in shaping user engagement, trust, and emotional responses in information campaigns. Her recent publications model narrative diffusion in social topologies and analyze competing narratives in political elections, such as Taiwan's 2024 election on TikTok. Gurung collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, including Nitin Agarwal and Md. Monoarul Islam Bhuiyan, on several shared publications.
