Kateryna Kasianenko






I am a PhD researcher and an educator studying digital platforms at Queensland University of Technology, Digital Media Research Centre. I am also affiliated with CSIRO's Data61 unit. I use computational and qualitative methods to understand how social media enable and constrain global publics' support for Ukraine during russia's full-scale invasion

I do so by identifying online community practices - sustained ways of saying and doing things together with others online - through using large language models (LLMs), network analysis, and ethnographic methods. In my PhD project, I study communities of Eurovision fans, the North Atlantic Fella Organization (NAFO), and supporters of Ukraine on Japanese Twitter. You can learn more about my research by visiting the links below.

 The header image of this site is a visual representation of a type of a Markov chain, or a sequence of events in which the probability of the next event depends only on the state of the current event. This visual is significant to me as it prompts to think about what can be achieved in the current moment and how it will impact the next moment. However, it is also visually similar to the Ukrainian cross-stich embroidery, serving as a reminder of the rich, heroic, and tragic history of the Ukrainian people and their efforts in weaving our common past and future.
