I study how data stewardship and analysis can impact community governance.
Right now, I'm focused on how algorithmic management is changing the reality of work, how data stewardship and participatory design can help create alternate working futures, and on the data rights of platform workers.
🔥 job update 🔥
Very excited to announce that in 2023, I'll be joining Princeton's Center for Information Technology Policy as a Postdoctoral Fellow, working primarily with Andres-Monroy Hernandez. In 2024, I'll be joining Penn State's College of Information Sciences and Technology as an Assistant Professor!
Research Areas
Data Rights as Labor Rights
While workplaces are increasingly quantified and surveilled, normative and legal notions of data privacy conflict with property, trade secret, and IP law in ways that limit worker data access.

Urban Segregation and Mobility Behavior
Economic and racial Segregation are structural and emergent phenomena, created by institutional processes and individual behavior alike. How can we measure and change the segregation in cities across the globe?
