About

I am a PhD student in Informatics in the School of Information and Computer Sciences at University of California, Irvine. My research lies at the intersection of technology, innovation, and human practices. I am currently investigating the role of technology and culture in the hiring decisions of top-tier technology companies. I am advised by Dr. Melissa Mazmanian, and I am a member of LUCI (Laboratory for Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction) and STAR Group (Social and Technological Action Research).
