January 2022 - May 2023

I was a Graduate Research Assistant at Georgia Tech, in which I assisted in the establishment of a Media Arts program at the Institute. I organized and co-led focus groups with media artists, Media Arts university directors, Georgia Tech undergraduate and graduate students, and Georgia Tech faculty and staff to receive input on what a successful and beneficial Media Arts residency would look like at a technology-centered institution. I then coded and analyzed the focus group transcriptions with a grounded theory approach.

These findings initiated the Institute to host two media artists within a residency program in Spring 2023. The artists created an immersive installation on Georgia Tech's campus with support from the Georgia Tech Library and the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts.

As of April 25, 2023, with the success of this residency, an Interdisciplinary Media Arts Center was established at the Georgia Institute of Technology, which will host an annual residency for media artists, offer courses that explore the intersection of art and technology, and provide a research incubator that supports transdisciplinary projects.

At Bucknell University, I completed and defended my Honors thesis within the Comparative & Digital Humanities department. My thesis investigated the witch trials of Finnmark, using digital mapping tools (ArcGIS, Palladio) to find correlations between gender, ethnicity, and location. 

I later presented my findings at the University of Alberta's 2021 Digital Humanities Conference (DiHuCon).

May 2019 - August 2019

I conducted digital humanities research within the Emerging Scholars program at Bucknell University, in which I investigated the Finnmark, Norway and Salem, Massachusetts witch trials. After analyzing primary documents from the Salem trials, I created a digital interactive timeline via TimelineJS. I then compared my findings to the Finnmark trials. I then presented my research at the 19th Annual Kalman Research Symposium.

I was invited to and attended the Computer-Assisted Literary Translation (CALT) conference (put on by Swansea Translation and Interpreting Group) at Swansea University in May 2019 to further learn about the intersection of technology and translation. My attendance was funded by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. 

August 2022 - present

From August 2022 to May 2023, I was a Graduate Research Assistant for Dr. Jay Bolter at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I assisted him in writing a new edition of his book, Remediation: Understanding New Media. I found and organized relevant sources and materials to assist in the writing process and began work on the book proposal for MIT Press.

In January 2023, Dr. Bolter, Dr. Maria Engberg (Malmö University), and I began coauthoring a paper, in which we apply remix theory to deepfakes. We aim to have the paper published by the end of 2023, and intend to attend conferences and participate in panels where we can discuss our work.
