  Hello, my name is Suvojit Bandopadhyaya and I generally go by my nickname - Suvo. I'm a third year PhD candidate in the media and communication department at University of Canterbury, New Zealand. I'm a social media researcher and am interested to do research exploring different facets of social media platforms. My PhD dissertation examines how modern terrorist organisations such as the Islamic State and Al Qaeda, use Facebook and Twitter for propaganda and radicalisation. My primary field of study is in Media and terrorism; however, I have taken my conceptual concerns further with how social media is used to study other domains such as social media and LGBT rights and how we maintain virtual identities simultaneously across various online platforms. I have done my Master's in Media Governance from Jamia Millia Islamia and my undergraduate Hons degree in Journalism from Delhi University, India.
