I study how algorithmic platforms shape the ways people understand culture and experience place. Using computational methods, my work investigates how digital systems organize visibility, mobility, representation, and inequality in everyday life.
My research applies this perspective across language models, automated decision systems, travel platforms, and video games. Recent work has appeared at ACM FAccT 2025 and 2026, COLM 2026, and NeurIPS 2025.
At Berkeley I coordinate the Master of Computational Social Science and teach computational methods. I also lead curriculum design at D-Lab and the Digital Humanities Summer Minor.

My two books examine how digital media reshape the way people move through and make sense of places — on travel platforms and in virtual worlds — themes that carry into my current work on AI.
