I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography & Geographic Information Science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

My research lies at the intersection of data, computation, and human values. I am interested in critically exploring how emerging technologies of geospatial computing and artificial intelligence, both in practice and theory, can be designed and used in ways that are ethical, socially responsible, and benefit humanity. More broadly, my interests span spatial data science, location privacy, and the societal implications of algorithmic systems.
