Welcome!  

​

I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the School of Information Studies (iSchool) at Syracuse University.  As a SU cluster hire in Artificial Intelligence, Autonomous Systems, and the Human-Technology Frontier, I am also a core faculty member at Autonomous Systems Policy Institute (ASPI).  Previously, I was a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Aalborg University in Denmark. 

​

My research interests include human–computer interaction (HCI), human-robot interaction (HRI), computer–supported cooperative work (CSCW), and science & technology studies (STS). I am interested in how values can and should be incorporated into the design of future technologies. Through my research, I hope to offer alternatives to human-centered designs that contribute to building our relationship with technologies in authentic ways.  

​

I received my Ph.D. in HCI/Design at Indiana University Bloomington where I was advised by Professor Norman Makoto Su.  I was also blessed to work with amazing committee members: Erik Stolterman, Selma Šabanović, Jessica Nina Lester, and Mark Ackerman (University of Michigan). I received an M.S. degree in Information Science from University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. At UNC, I worked on sociomateriality and smart/ traditional health tracking technologies users with Professor Mohammad Hossein Jarrahi
