I am a PhD candidate in Science and Technology Studies at Cornell University working with Steve Jackson, Malte Jung, and Malte Ziewitz**.** As part of my research I investigate the evolution of craft, and how computational systems and practices change time-honored forms of work. My dissertation research in computer-supported collaborative work focuses on sites adapting; a fine art furniture studio integrating digital fabrication technologies, an operating room shifting to robotically-oriented surgical procedures, and a luthier’s workshop merging empirical knowledge with neural networks. Together, these cases reveal emergent forms of artisanal practice, reconfigurations of teamwork and collaboration, and unique and interdisciplinary pathways for developing and transmitting expertise. I am a student in Cornell’s employee degree program. As such….
I am an Instructional Designer at Cornell’s Center for Teaching Innovation where I lead faculty development in the ethical and pragmatic uses of generative AI. Using an ethnographer’s toolkit I listen to faculty and student needs, observe teaching styles, identify sticky spots (and iterate on solutions), implement interventions, and measure their efficacy. I work one-on-one with faculty to address and advance their practice as educators and collaborate with peers to advance the mission of the Center. I believe strongly in collaboration, in putting the student experience first, and in maintaining balance between innovation and time-honored techniques.
