About Me

I am an Associate in Exponent’s Vehicle Engieering Practice, specializing in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles.

I hold a doctorate in Systems Engineering from the George Washington University, where I was a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow and a fellow with GWU’s Co-Design of Trustworthy AI Systems NSF Research Traineeship Program. My dissertation research examined several potential impacts of autonomous vehicles and used them as a case study of the potential societal effects of AI-enabled automation in the physical world.

Prior to starting my PhD, I worked as a program specialist with the ASU Consortium for Science, Policy & Outcomes (CSPO) in Washington, DC. My primary focus was supporting CSPO’s work on Participatory Technology Assessment (pTA), aiming to incorporate public values and perspectives into critical science and technology decisions. In that role, I helped to coordinate the Consortium’s project “Our Driverless Futures”, involving large-scale public deliberations across the United States, Europe, and Asia on the future of driverless mobility.

My interests in transportation extend beyond my work. I am an avid cyclist and public transit enthusiast. When not at my desk doing research, I’m typically found hiking, boxing, or dancing (my favorite is country swing).

Research Interests

  • Autonomous vehicles: Exploring the potential impacts of AVs with a focus on labor, cost, and adoption.

  • Trustworthy artificial intelligence (AI): Collaborating on research at the intersection of AI and human work systems. Evaluating different dimensions of trustworthiness.

  • Transportation equity: Developing transportation systems that improve transportation access for individuals that are least served by current transportation systems.

  • Deliberative democracy: Developing methods for engaging the public in science and technology development and decision-making.

Education

    • PhD in Systems Engineering, The George Washington University

    • B.S. in Chemical Engineering, The University of Arizona
