As a doctoral candidate in Information Studies, I study how power moves through the infrastructure of the internet. My research asks how the technical decisions embedded in systems like internet exchange points shape who has access, who holds authority, and who remains invisible in the architecture of digital life.

My work is grounded in a commitment to access and open inquiry, and treats infrastructure not as a neutral backdrop but as a site where governance, sovereignty, and power are actively produced. I bring ethical and philosophical questions to bear on problems that are too often treated as purely technical.

My scholarship draws on science and technology studies alongside teaching and learning, instructional design, political science, media studies, gender studies, and legal studies, reflecting a conviction that understanding digital systems requires moving across disciplinary lines rather than staying within them.
