About
While my personal research and the research at GT and Parkview has focused on health services, informatics research, and human-computer interaction (HCI), data ethics and ethics related to research in the HCI domain is a unifying theme. Topics include privacy, literacy, and research design.
This research is also in collaboration with the PERVADE Team - an NSF-supported collaborative focused on answering pervasive questions such as how do we quantify the risks to individuals and groups in the use of pervasive data, how do people experience the reuse of their personal data and how should existing ethical codes be adapted and adopted for computational research? I currently serve as a research collaborator to the PERVADE team.
Because of my contributions to the HCI community in this space, I have been selected to serve on the ACM SIGCHI Ethics committee starting Fall 2020.
