I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Human-Computer Interaction and Design in the School of Informatics and Computing at Indiana University under the advisement of Drs. Jeffrey Bardzell and Shaowen Bardzell. To complement my studies in human-computer interaction, I am pursuing a Ph.D. minor in Communication and Culture. In my research on everyday creative self-expression in socio-technical systems, I employ a mixed-methods, critical-empirical approach that combines the theories and methodologies of media studies, cultural studies, and human-computer interaction. In particular, I am interested in issues of creativity, collaboration, identity, and affective user experiences as they are constructed in and mediated by our ever expanding socio-technical environments.
