I am a PhD candidate in Technology and Social Behavior (a dual degree in computer science & communication studies) at Northwestern University where I am affiliated with the Community Data Science Collective.
My research focuses on decentralized social networks like the Fediverse and their role as sociotechnical systems. My research often uses computational social science to investigate how these systems handle “tricky problems” like content moderation and discovery.
These days, I am most active on Bluesky and likely writing notes in Obsidian, programs in some VS Code variant, and everything else in Emacs.
