About Me

I'm an interdisciplinary scholar whose research focuses on the commodification and rationalization of sensory experience—particularly color—under technocapitalism. Originally trained in modern languages (Russian, Mandarin Chinese, and French), I received my PhD in Film & Media from UC Berkeley and now work at the intersection of media theory and history, science and technology studies, critical race studies, and cultural studies.

Currently, I'm an Assistant Professor at Old Dominion University, where I teach in the Media Studies program and the interdisciplinary MA in the Humanities. From 2022-2024, I was Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Digital Studies Institute at the University of Michigan.
