I am an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science department at Wellesley College. I am also affiliated with the Media Arts and Sciences Program, the Wellesley Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) Lab, and the Youth and Wellness lab.
My research interests are broadly in Human-Computer Interaction and Social Computing. I study the Internet and the social implications of our increasing dependence on it. I am currently building a prototyping tool for social systems. In the past, my research projects have focused on civility in online conversations, polarization and homophily, identity representation.
I received my M.S. and Ph.D. from Georgia Tech in Computer Science in the school of Interactive Computing. I obtained my B.A. in Computer Science at Wellesley College. I have worked in industry as a UX researcher at Yik Yak, UX research intern at Google, and Software Engineering intern at Apple. I grew up outside of Paris, France and I love to craft, play board games, and figure skating.
