My research interests focus on understanding the experiences people have during life transitions and how those experiences are represented in sociotechnical systems. I am particularly interested in how people make decisions about the data that are left behind in the wake of a romantic relationship ending, and how those decisions contribute to the formation of post-break-up identities.

ATLS 1300 - Computational Foundations 1
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2024
Explores computation as a powerful tool for creative design and expression in a project-based studio environment. Students learn the fundamentals of creative coding, computational thinking, and object-oriented programming. Hands-on topics include generative art and design, interactivity, animation, and visualization.
ATLS 2200 - Web
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2022 / Fall 2022 / Spring 2023 / Summer 2023 / Fall 2023 / Spring 2024 / Summer 2024
Introduces techniques, technologies and concepts of web design and development through lectures, projects and critiques. Focuses technically on HTML, CSS and JavaScript as the primary web technologies. Contextualizes the technical and societal implications of the Internet through historical and critical perspectives.
ATLS 2270 - Computational Foundations 2
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2023 / Spring 2024
Builds on the fundamental programming concepts introduced in ATLS 1300. Students will learn to write sophisticated programs that employ efficient means of representing and manipulating information. They will learn to analyze algorithms in terms of complexity, gain an understanding of fundamental data structures (lists, stacks, queues, trees), and acquire practical experience implementing algorithms to solve common problems (sorting, graph traversal).
ATLS 4010 - Capstone Projects
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2023
Focuses on the development of an individual thesis project. Specific class sessions will feature a combination of lectures, demonstrations, guest speakers, lab sessions, and critiques. This course also entails group work, portfolio development, critical theoretical readings, and a significant written component.

ATLS 5650 - Introduction to Programming
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2023
Explores computation as a powerful tool for creative design and expression in a project-based studio environment. Students learn the fundamentals of creative coding, computational thinking, and object-oriented programming. Hands-on topics include generative art and design, interactivity, animation, and visualization. This class is a mix of technical instruction (both inside and outside the classroom), readings, viewings, lectures, workdays, and critiques. This is a projects-based class, but projects will vary.
