What I'm Curious About
My research interests center on understanding how people interact with information and how digital systems influence that process. I'm especially interested in the questions that sit at the intersection of HCI, learning sciences, and information behavior, where design decisions can shape what people discover, learn, and remember.
Information Discovery
What influences the paths people take through information?
I'm interested in how people encounter new ideas, information, and perspectives. Search engines, recommendation systems, and algorithms shape what people encounter every day. I'm interested in understanding how these systems can support exploration, serendipitous discovery, and richer learning experiences.
Questions I'm exploring:
How do recommendation systems shape learning trajectories?
What makes discovery feel meaningful?
How can technology support exploration rather than repetition?
What influences the paths people take through information?
Learning
How do digital environments teach us?
Every product teaches something, whether intentionally or not. I'm interested in how interfaces shape habits, attention, and knowledge acquisition over time.
Questions I'm exploring:
What behaviors do digital products encourage?
How do design decisions influence learning?
What makes technology supportive of lifelong learning?
How can learning be integrated into everyday digital experiences?
Attention & Engagement
What competes for our attention and why?
Modern technologies are designed to capture attention. I'm interested in understanding how attention is directed, sustained, and fragmented across digital environments.
Questions I'm exploring:
How do interface designs influence focus?
What is the relationship between attention and learning?
How might systems encourage deeper engagement?
What responsibilities come with shaping what people encounter?
