My research and teaching focus on information, communication and media technologies from an historical and critical/cultural perspective. Specifically, my research agenda examines human-machine relations, particularly as they relate to interfaces (like buttons, keys, and screens). I investigates how these surfaces play a role in the technological and social aspects of daily life.
