RESEARCH TEAM
Prospective students:
If you are a prospective PhD student interested in working with me, please apply
to the UMSI PhD program. If you are a current UM masters student or undergraduate
student interested in working with me, please email me with your CV/resume and research interests.
I am particularly interested in working with students who want to conduct research on
one or both of the following topics: 1) designing trans technologies
2) social media content moderation and marginalized populations.
