ABSTRACT
My work explores interactions with physiological signals in daily life. I develop alternative representations of these signals and study experiences and interpretations around these artifacts, leveraging material properties to create new associations and interpretations. Through broadening the design space around biosensing, I probe what relationships with physiological data might mean for our social relationships and sense of self.

Tensions of Data-Driven Reflection: A Case Study of Real-Time Emotional Biosensing
CHI '18: Proceedings of the 2018 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsBiosensing displays, increasingly enrolled in emotional reflection, promise authoritative insight by presenting users' emotions as discrete categories. Rather than machines interpreting emotions, we sought to explore an alternative with emotional ...
Biosignals as Social Cues: Ambiguity and Emotional Interpretation in Social Displays of Skin Conductance
DIS '16: Proceedings of the 2016 ACM Conference on Designing Interactive SystemsThis paper explores the social meaning of clothing-based displays of biosignals. How do friends make sense of their own and each other's skin conductance display in the context of a conversation? We developed Hint, a dynamic thermochromic t-shirt whose ...
Interrogating Biosensing in Everyday Life
DIS '17 Companion: Proceedings of the 2017 ACM Conference Companion Publication on Designing Interactive SystemsThis workshop seeks to expand our understanding and imaginations regarding the possible roles biosensors (sensors measuring humans) can-and should-play in everyday life. By applying a critical lens to issues of interpretation, representation, and ...
