I am an assistant professor in the Anthropology Department at Princeton University, where I teach classes on surveillance, the anthropology of AI, and linguistic anthropology. I am a faculty affiliate of the History of Science Program, the Program in Cognitive Science, the Center for Health and Wellbeing, and Princeton Language + Intelligence (PLI).

I study the sensory politics and technopolitics of American mental health care in an era in which artificial intelligence (AI) is called upon to manage increasingly broad arenas of human life. My ethnographic research traces the labor, care, and communicative practices underpinning computational voice analysis technologies, especially those designed to evaluate and track people experiencing mental distress.

I received my Ph.D in History, Anthropology, Science, Technology and Society at MIT, and my MA in Anthropology at Brandeis University. Previously, I was a postdoctoral associate in the Anthropology Department at MIT, and the associate director of the Language and Technology Lab, which I co-founded with Dr. Graham Jones.
