Before joining Temple, she earned her master\u2019s degree in Business Analytics and Project Management from the University of Connecticut. Prior to her academic career, Mei accumulated six years of industry experience in the retail industry, working with global brands such as Uniqlo and Adidas in China.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"557\" data-end=\"938\">Her research lies at the intersection of intelligent systems, digital platforms, and behavioral economics, with a particular focus on prosocial behavior and AI-human interaction in consumer-facing environments. She explores how technologies like hyper-realistic AI agents and platform-integrated donation tools reshape user engagement, trust, and monetization on digital platforms.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"940\" data-end=\"1358\">Using a combination of large-scale field experiments, quasi-experimental designs, and econometric analysis, Mei investigates the psychological and economic consequences of human-AI collaboration in digital commerce and the creator economy. She has taught and assisted in courses on data and web analytics and is committed to inclusive, student-centered pedagogy. Mei is currently on the 2025\u20132026 academic job market.<\/p>\n<h2>Dissertation<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Title<\/strong>: Three Essays on Prosocial Behavior and the AI Agent Disclosure Dilemma in the Digital Economy<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Committee: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox.temple.edu\/directory\/sunil-wattal-swattal\">\u00a0Sunil Wattal<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox.temple.edu\/directory\/jaehwuen-jung-tuh42543\"> Jaehwuen Jung<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox.temple.edu\/directory\/konstantin-bauman-tuh42084\">Konstantin Bauman<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Proposal Defense: July 2025<\/li>\n<li>PhD Expected: May 2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Research Interests<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Social &amp; Economic Impact of Artificial Intelligence<\/li>\n<li>Hyper-realistic AI Agent<\/li>\n<li>Human-AI Collaboration<\/li>\n<li>Creator Economy and Influencer Marketing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Research Methodologies<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Field and Lab Experiments<\/li>\n<li>Econometrics and Causal Inference<\/li>\n<li>Machine Learning<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Working Papers<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Meixian Wang, Jaehwuen Jung, Ravi Bapna<\/span> <span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">\u201cThe Impact of Realism and AI Disclosure on Virtual Influencer Effectiveness: A Large Field Experiment<\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">\u201d<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li>Invited for 2<sup>nd<\/sup> round review at <em>Information Systems Research<\/em> &#8211; <strong>Job Market Paper<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Conference presentations: PlatStrat2024, CIST 2024, INFORMS 2025<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Meixian Wang, Keran Zhao, Jason Bennett Thatcher. \u201cThe Impact of Superstar Exits on Live Streaming E-Commerce Platforms.\u201d\n<ul>\n<li>Invited for 2<sup>nd<\/sup> round review at Journal<em>\u00a0of the Association for Information Systems<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Conference presentations: WITS 2022 (Best paper nomination).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Meixian Wang, Keran Zhao, Sunil Wattal<\/span> <span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">\u201cWhen Prosocial Opportunities Collide: Tipping vs. Charity on Digital Platforms<\/span><\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">\u201d<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li>Under Review at Information Systems Research.<\/li>\n<li>Conference presentations: WISE 2024, CIST 2025<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Meixian Wang, Jaehwuen Jung. \u201cPersonalization\u2013Privacy Tradeoffs and AI Identity Disclosure: Evidence from a Large-Scale Field Experiment with Hyper-Realistic AI Agents.\u201d\n<ul>\n<li>Field experiment and data analysis in progress.<\/li>\n<li>Conference presentations: ACR 2025<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Meixian Wang, Keren Zhao Jason Bennett Thatcher. \u201cAI versus Human?
