I am a linguistic anthropologist, feminist STS scholar, and an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Princeton University. I am also a co-PI and co-founding member of Princeton Societal AI.

I study how technologies that “travel under the sign of AI,” to use Lucy Suchman’s term, are impacting the practice, profession, and sensory politics of psychiatric medicine and the psychological sciences in the US. My research projects trace the semiotic work and moral economies of discernment underpinning machine listening technologies, especially those deployed for healthcare and intelligence-gathering use cases.

I received my PhD in History, Anthropology, Science, Technology and Society (HASTS) at MIT and my MA in Anthropology at Brandeis University. Previously, I was a postdoctoral associate in the Anthropology Department at MIT, the associate director and co-founder of the Language and Technology Lab, and a Weatherhead Fellow at the School for Advanced Research. At Princeton, I was awarded the 2025-2028 Richard Stockton Bicentennial Preceptorship.
