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. 
 

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