A fourth-year PhD student in Computer Science & Engineering, I reconfigure and design new social media tools for use in collective decision making. I am particularly interested in improving communication between the public and government decision makers on politically contentious issues.
While I primarily work across disciplines, I consider Computer Supported Cooperative Work to be my home field. I work with Alan Borning (computer science), David W. McDonald (information school), Mark Zachry (human-centered design and engineering) and Lance Bennett (political science and communications), among others.
