Dark Patterns | Harms | Tech-Policy | Online Safety
I am on the academic job market, seeking tenure-track faculty and postdoctoral positions ( ischools, design, human factor engineering , communication, media studies, law, and policy schools ) for Fall 2027. If you know of a position that might be a good fit, I’d love to hear from you!

I am a lawyer and HCI researcher, a PhD candidate at Indiana University, Bloomington, working with my advisor, Dr. Colin M. Gray (UXP2 Lab), where my research focuses on understanding technology-related harms. I explore how harm is constructed (through design choices), perceived (by users), and regulated (through policy frameworks), and how scholars from HCI and public policy can collaborate to build ethical technologies and responsive regulation.
I am also very fortunate to collaborate with Dr. Christena Nippert-Eng (C-Lab) on projects on fraud and dark patterns.
If you are interested in talking about technology-related harms, dark patterns, ethics and privacy, online safety, please feel free to reach out!
