Personal profile
I research how writing technologies shape workflow habits to better understand ways that writers interact with their audiences. My work centers on denaturalizing everyday writing tools to improve how we write.
I focus on five main areas: (1) participatory writing (especially on social media), (2) writing interfaces and templates, (3) AI and machine learning communication, (4) natural language processing, and (5) STEM/engineering communication. My research draws on interviewing, user experience, data structuring, web scraping, and computational methods to explore how writers—especially scientists—interact with audiences and disseminate their work in digital environments.
