Welcome! I am a cultural anthropologist, medical student, and visual artist. I examine how humans and technologies shape meanings and practices of health, medicine, and the body. I focus on collaborative methods between healthcare workers, computer scientists, and community members to re-imagine socially-responsive technology infrastructures.

My work has been funded by the Wenner-Gren Foundation, the Society for Visual Anthropology, and the U.S. Department of Education.

I am currently an MD/PhD Anthropology trainee at the University of Pennsylvania. I received my B.S. degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). You can find my full CV here.

Recent things I have been working on:

• I am interning for the AI Initiatives team for the University of Pennsylvania Health Systems (UPHS) Information Systems department

• I am currently conducting ethnographic work to examine how tech developers, physicians, and patients use and formulate modes of imaging the body with and without AI and computer vision.

• I co-designed and taught a community-based and participatory AI Ethics course between UPenn’s School of Engineering & Applied Sciences and West Philadelphia High School.
