Chaeeun Jung is a student at Jakarta Intercultural School. She has explored the use of artificial intelligence in biomedical applications through collaborative and independent research experiences.
Her previous work included a pneumonia detection project, where she explored coding methods and AI-based data collection in hospitals. This experience sparked her interest in machine learning and biological data analysis. She also pursued independent work involving DNA sequence classification using machine learning models.
Researching Addiction Theory and Social Media Use
At CCIR Academy, Chaeeun explored the relationship between psychology and digital behaviour through her research paper, The Conceptual Misapplication of Addiction Theory to Social Media Use.
Her study examines whether addiction frameworks accurately explain social media behaviour. In particular, it questions the classification of excessive social media use as an addiction without sufficient conceptual or clinical evidence.
Examining the Implications of Addiction Labels
Chaeeun’s research explores the psychological, behavioural, and societal implications of interpreting digital engagement through addiction theory.
Furthermore, her study considers the importance of using clear conceptual and clinical foundations when discussing patterns of social media use.
Sharing Her CCIR Academy Research Journey
Chaeeun shared her research experience in a CCIR Academy Student Spotlight episode. She discussed the guidance she received from her mentor and the insights she gained throughout the research process.
Her experiences reflect her interests in artificial intelligence, biomedical applications, machine learning, and psychology.
