I’m a writer and researcher. I am a PhD student in history of science at Harvard University, where I investigate the rise of cybernetics, computing, and what we now call the information age.

Since high school I’ve been writing for magazines and news publications. I’m on the editorial board of Reboot.

In the past, I was the founding intern of Chaoyang Trap, worked on product research at Substack, and covered Chinese technology as a freelance journalist. I was a fellow at New America.

I live in Somerville. Previously I’ve lived in San Francisco, Palo Alto, Merrimack Valley, and Beijing.

I welcome emails and try to reply to everyone: hello (at) tianyufang.net.
