Researcher at Brent Hecht's lab, People, Space, & Algorithms (PSA) Computing Group at Northwestern University. We are developing a collaborative project to empower online consumers and leverage collective action online. I participated in the conceptual design of the project and provided insight from critical scholarly research about technologically mediated collective action. I collected databases of companies and brands from university resources, contributed creating models for tech-mediated organizational tools based on studies of organized political and social actions and contributed to the User Interface of the project.
For other graduate level classes at Northwestern, I have carried out research about synthetic voices and AI voice assistants, providing a critical and historiographical account of their evolution and their reliance on mythology and media to be successful. I have also studied the negotiations of identities at micro-interactive levels online in commentary sections and forums.
