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 some overlap with my expertise, and have research interest in some intersections between HCI, privacy/cybersecurity and indigenous knowledge. Candidates should also either possess some 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 for Undergraduates (DREU), or DUB REU
