I am a 2nd year Ph.D. student at Cornell Information Science, and a 2023 Computer Science and Information Science graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill. I just finished a summer internship with the the AEL group at Adobe Research.
I am co-advised by Jeff Rzeszotarski and Mor Naaman. My PhD is supported by the National GEM Consortium, NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP), and the Hopper-Dean / Bowers CIS Dean’s Excellence Fellowship. Currently, my research leverages qualitative and quantitative methods to understand how people make decisions - especially about what to trust - in online information ecosystems and leverage information like provenance. With this information, I develop information ecosystems and information publishing systems that are more trustworthy. More broadly, I build systems to assist users with the issues raised in the quantitative investigation phase of research and conduct studies with actual users to understand the true impact of novel systems on users and their goals.
During my four years at Chapel Hill, I conducted academic and commercial research at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab, AstraZeneca, OnyxPoint, the Interactive Information Science Laboratory at UNC-Chapel Hill, the Humans and Technology Lab at Clemson University, and the RiSE Group at Microsoft Research ranging from Usable Security to Human-Computer interaction. My current research interests include usable transparency, trust in AI, and computational journalism.
I was born and raised in Maryland, but I’ve lived and gone to school all over the east coast. For fun, I like to play the bass, discover fantastic new music, hike, travel, and learn about the food of different cultures.
