My research interests are interdisciplinary and range from histories of recording and storage technologies to media theory, futurity, and digitality. I specialize in exploring the intersection of materiality, aesthetics, and history, studying diverse media objects that retain and shape our records of the past. Recently, I've been particularly interested in teaching and researching outer space and its mediations, for which I have also received the Azrieli early faculty fellowship.

In the past, I have held research positions in various academic institutions, including the Society of Fellows in the Humanities and Cinema and Media Studies at the School of Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California, The Polonsky Academy at Van Leer Institute, Interactive Media Arts at New York University Shanghai, and the Institut für die Wissenschaften vom Menschen. I earned my Ph.D. from the Department of Media, Culture, and Communication at New York University.
