I’m a PhD candidate in the Department of Computer Science at University of Toronto, advised by Robert Soden and Steve Easterbrook. I’m part of the Toronto Climate Observatory.
The broad goal of my research is to design place-based, equitable climate informatics systems that can foster justice-oriented relationships between individuals, communities, and the broader environment. To this end, in my dissertation, I adapt methodologies from critical data studies/STS and sustainable HCI to climate informatics, to assess and intervene in the scene and settings within which various actors produce, use and make meaning from climate data, primarily in the Greater Toronto Area. I use a range of HCI methodologies like critical, speculative, and participatory design to pursue these goals.
Research Interests: Human Computer Interaction (HCI), Climate Change, Climate Informatics, Climate Risk, Critical Computing, Critical Data Studies, Digital Interaction
