Vigilant Mind, Visionary Research

Connecting Media, Law, and Healthcare to Gain Deeper Insights into the World of Uncertainty

Hello, and welcome—I’m Gilly An.

I study how people think and feel about emerging technologies — especially ones that both excite and unsettle us, like artificial intelligence or cutting-edge medical treatments. My focus lies in the psychological backbones of public opinion: what fuels curiosity, what magnifies fear, and how these shape the way we engage with new technology information.

But I believe these questions shouldn’t stop at communication. They demand legal and ethical perspectives too. That’s why I’ll be entering law school, to explore how policy, media, and public perception must work together — especially in a world where innovation moves faster than understanding.

Welcome to my research — where the rooster still crows, and the search for better questions never stops.

I will be attending the 2026 WAML Congress, to be held in Antwerp from August 5 to 7, 2026. I am excited to meet many scholars and professionals in the field of medical law research and learn about the latest innovations and developments in their research.

During the WAML portion of the conferences, I will be presenting my research on the commercial use of medical authority in South Korean digital supplement advertising, focusing on the boundary between factual disclosure and functional endorsement.
