About me

I am a fifth-year PhD candidate in Network Science at Northeastern University. I am currently supported by an NSF GRFP Fellowship (Grant No. 1938052) in Social Sciences - Computationally Intensive Research, and my advisors are David Lazer and Brooke Foucault Welles.

My current work focuses on the human impacts of (and the ways humans can impact) sociotechnical systems. I look at three networked phenomena in my research – civic discourses, attention dynamics, and information spread – and analyze how they influence power in networked sociotechnical systems. While my research is primarily grounded in computational social science methods, I also make use of qualitative methods like semi-structured interviews (plus constructivist grounded theory approaches) and autoethnography to better understand the nuances and deeper contexts of the phenomena I observe.

I love teaching computational methods! I co-developed an introductory graduate-level course called “Network Science Data” with Brennan Klein in Fall 2024. You can find the Jupyter Book textbook for the course here in its Fall 2024 incarnation and here in its current state.

I am seeking a postdoctoral or assistant professor position for 2026; I anticipate graduating with my PhD in Spring 2026.
