Advising

If you are a current UW PhD student interested in collaborating, simply email me and discuss your interests and alignment.

PhD Applicants

I recruit through the iSchool program. Applications open in September.

Strong candidates would have either research experience in at least on of the fields above and bring to the table either technical skills (that involves programming software) or analytical/qualitative research (with examples of your writing).

  • I do review each application that has stated preference with working with me. However, you can email me with a brief about your research interests and how our interests align, your CV, and any details about your previous research/writing (I do not need to see your transcripts).

Masters Students

I typically have capacity to advise 1-2 Masters students each year. If you are interested in working with me, send me an email with a brief about your research interest, your background, how our research interests align, and a copy of your CV.

Undergraduate Students

I am always looking to work with undergraduate students. There are multiple opportunities:

If you have taken a class with me before, or you are an advanced undergraduate student:

  • I can advise an Independent Study credit. Typically you have the option to support active research in the lab, pick a tangent, or advance your own research agenda
  • I can also support a Capstone project for credit. These typically align with existing research project in the lab.
There are also opportunities for funded Summer Internships: You can apply to work with me through CRA Distributed Research Experiences from Undergraduates (DREU), or DUB REU
