I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Information at Florida State University. I am also a Faculty Associate and former Fellow at Harvard’s Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society. 

I received my Ph.D. in Information Science and Technology from the School of Information Studies at Syracuse University, where I was advised by Dr. Bryan Semaan. Before joining FSU, I was a postdoctoral researcher under the mentorship of Dr. Deen Freelon at the Center for Information, Technology, and Public Life (CITAP) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I was also a postdoctoral fellow at the Inequality in America Initiative (IAI) at Harvard University.

My research spans the areas of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), human-AI Interaction (HAI), and social computing. I design educational tools and interventions that empower users to understand and engage with AI systems in their work, learning, and community life. My work has been published in the ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI), the ACM Human-Computer Interaction (CSCW), the ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction (TOCHI), the ACM Transactions on Social Computing (TSC), and the International Conference on Digital Government Research (DG.O).

I am recruiting 1–2 Ph.D. students to begin in Fall 2026 in the broader areas of HCI and HAI! I also welcome motivated master’s and undergraduate students to join ongoing projects.
