I am a 3rd year Ph.D. student at Cornell Information Science, and a 2023 Computer Science and Information Science graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill.
I am co-advised by Gili Vidan 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. My work aims to imbue information ecosystems—particularly Knowledge Work domains such as journalism, data storytelling, and academic research—with usable signals of trustworthiness and credibility. I draw from HCI literature, STS scholarship, and human-centric design approaches to study how this diverse array of Knowledge Workers interpret and value signals such as provenance or author-provided contextual information for evaluating data and AI-generated content. I then investigate optimal ways to display these signals to support their decision-making contexts.
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, the RiSE Group at Microsoft Research, and the AEL group at Adobe 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.
🫂 December 2024: I’ve been appointed as the Undergraduate Research Specialist in the College of Engineering! Don’t hesitate to ask me anything about getting started with research.
🅰️ June 2024: I’ve started a internship at Adobe Research examining trust and transparency from the data storytelling perspective
đź“ś May 2024: My CHI paper with the folks at Clemson has been published! Check it out here.
🇩🇰 November 2023: I gave a talk in Denmark at the Cryptography Applied to Transparency Systems Workshop!
