I am an Assistant Professor in Informatics in the School of Information and Computer Sciences at University of California, Irvine. At UCI I am a faculty researcher in the LUCI lab for ubiquitous computing and interaction a member of the executive board for the Center for Organizational Research (COR) and a faculty participant in the Intel Science & Technology Center for Social Computing.

My interests revolve around the experience of communication technologies as used in-practice within organizational and personal contexts, specifically in relation to identity projection and the nature of time in the digital age. I have conducted a variety of ethnographic and qualitative research projects on the individual experience and social dynamics that emerge when people adapt to using wireless modes of communication and have a series of publications on these topics.

The Informatics department allows me the opportunity to teach a variety of interdisciplinary courses at both the underrgraduate and graduate level and I have the pleasure of working with a variety of excellent doctoral students.

I earned my PhD in Organization Studies from the MIT Sloan School of Management in 2009 and a MSI in Information Economics, Management and Policy from the University of Michigan School of Information in 2002
