I'm an Assistant Professor in the Department of Information Science within the College of Computing and Informatics (CCI) at Drexel University, where I co-founded the DONUTS Collaboratory with Dr. Shadi Rezapour and Dr. Afsaneh Razi. I also hold a courtesy appointment in Drexel's Center for Science, Technology & Society in the College of Arts and Sciences.

I am a theorist of information and interaction. I conduct interdisciplinary research grounded in humanistic human-computer interaction (HCI), social informatics, and German media studies. I am especially interested in: understanding the ontology of the self in relation to datafication, IoT (e.g., self-tracking technologies), and pervasive algorithmic systems; and how advances in and through HCI are changing historical discourses of "privacy," "the human, " and "the archive."

My research has received multiple awards from SIGCHI communities and the ASIS&T Special Interest Group on Social Informatics. From 2012 until 2015 I was a Graduate Fellow at the Intel Science and Technology Center for Social Computing. Since 2014, I have been a core member of the Re:Enlightenment Project, a humanities-oriented and international research collective.

I am **not** currently hiring new doctoral students for AY2025-2026.
