Louise Xie is a doctoral student at the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. Her research seeks to leverage digital media and emerging technologies such as AI to transform health communication practices connected to the adaptation, mitigation, and material conditions of climate change. In doing so, her work is centered on using community-grounded, mixed methods, and interdisciplinary approaches to achieve health equity in minoritized and vulnerable communities in the United States.

Prior to joining Annenberg, Xie worked as a senior associate at Argot Partners, a strategic communications firm for the life sciences. She received her BA in Biology & Society with a minor in Asian American Studies from Cornell University. Xie is also an avid runner and spends the rest of her time training for road races or running in the Santa Monica Mountains.
