I’m an Assistant Professor in the Department of Information Sciences and Technology at George Mason University. I received my PhD in Information Science from Drexel University College of Computing and Informatics, where I studied internet privacy and anonymity.

​

My research examines how emerging technologies shape identity, social relations, and evolving norms around privacy, surveillance, and digital life. I work at the intersection of human-computer interaction (HCI), social computing, and critical computing.

​

My recent work focuses on youth technology use, including how AI systems shape self-concept, trust, and social behavior, as well as how device restrictions affect teens, families, schools, and broader communities. I also study the complex sociotechnical, legal, and interpersonal dimensions of reproductive privacy.
 

My work has been published in venues such as CHI, CSCW, TOCHI, PETS, and USENIX.
