Why Digital Media?

My research and design interests include the datafication of humans and spaces, collective memory and consciousness in the digital age, and emerging technologies for well-being and human augmentation. The digital media program is a stellar incubator for questioning and developing interdisciplinary ideas. Here, I aim to research and create artifacts that reshape ideologies and systems, and improve the ways we think, live, and move.
