Hello! I am a third-year PhD student in Technology and Social Behavior at Northwestern University. I am advised by Aaron Shaw and Darren Gergle as a member of the Community Data Science Collective and the CollabLab.
My research focuses on developer collaboration and governance within free and open source software projects. I am interested in how software engineering procedures impact technical decision making, project security risk, and contributor voice. So far, I have primarily used computational methods in my research work; specifically those in natural language processing.
