My research lies at the intersection of scholarly communication, data management, and science of science.

The overarching goal of my research is to understand and design for long-term research data sustainability and actionable science policy. I've published in Quantitative Science Studies (QSS), Journal of Informetrics, and Scientometrics. I was also a research Fellow at the Laboratory of Innovation Science at Harvard (LISH) and a Fellow at the iSchool Inclusion Institute (i3) and have received multiple awards including the Masters’ prize in Library & Information Science at Syracuse University and honorable mention as a 2022 Better Scientific Software (BSSw) Fellow.
