Welcome! I am a sociologist of science and technology at Princeton University, where I am an Associate Professor in the Sociology Department. I am best known for my research with NASA's robotic spacecraft teams, published in books like Seeing Like a Rover and Shaping Science, funded by the National Science Foundation. I am also known for my unique experiments in personal data privacy, which I call my Opt Out Experiments. And I have a keen interest in the transformations that accompany digital technologies in today's workplace, and how we might built better technologies to better respect our social worlds, which fuels my research, teaching and publishing in human-computer interaction.
