I am a 3rd-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Chicago. I am advised by Marshini Chetty in the Amyoli Internet Research Lab.
In my work, I aim to make the internet more fair and transparent with a blend of both qualitative and quantitative methods. I research ideas related to user empowerment, upholding user agency, and understanding/exposing manipulative designs. In addition to publishing my work at top HCI conferences, my work often has an added flavor of consumer protection. I write comments to regulatory agencies with evidence-based policy suggestions informed by my research.
I am currently working on projects related to the impact of platform design and recommendation systems on user-agency, platform moderation of user-generated content, and ethical data collection.
