Hi there! I am a | Hi there! I am a first year PhD student at the Lamb School at Purdue. Dr Jeremy Foote is my advisor. My interests sit at the intersection of sociology, political science, and communication My work has largely been qualitative in the past but I am interested to learn computational methods and use them to study political aggression and violence in online communities. I worked in the Indian nonprofit sector for five years before deciding to come back to academia. As I find my way around what other things interest me, you will see them here! | ||

I'm a first year MA/PhD student in the Communication Department at University of Washington, advised by Mako Hill. I have been formerly interested in cultural evolution in the digital age and have done work in the predictive validity of the GRE for PhD students entering the Communication discipline. I am currently researching hierarchical structures of peer production communities using a knowledge production lens. | |||
Before entering grad school I spent my free time with friends, playing video games and watching old tv shows. Now, I spend most of my free time reading books for fun and to fill knowledge gaps. On the weekends, my partner and I try to do something that brings us great joy; usually something with water, nature, and/or with our cats. | |||

I am a first year Ph.D. student in Media, Technology, & Society (MTS). I am advised by Duri Long in the Creative Interfaces Research + Design Studio and participate in the Disability HSR Working Group. Today, I am interested in HCI, phenomenology, and how collectives form, communicate, and practice shared values. I like to think about these things in the context of medical devices, because cyborgs and biohackers are cool. My academic background is in philosophy of science and moral philosophy, and my professional background is in digital rights, education technology, and non-profits. | |||
