work

graduate school research:

  • My new project explores efforts to collect vital statistics for the 1890 U.S. Census. I presented a working version of this research at the 2025 Midwest Junto for the History of Science and will share an updated version at SHOT 2025.

  • I’m working on a paper that historicizes the labor debates surrounding electronic death registration. This project grew out of a workshop hosted by the Univeristy of Edinburgh’s Epidemy Lab on data and disease in historical prospective. I presented part of my research at ICOHTEC-SHOT in July 2024.

  • At the May 2023 International Conference on Computer Ethics: Philosophical Enquiry, I presented a paper on medical scribes and their role in salvaging the utility of electronic health records. I also presented this research in October 2023 at the Leibniz AILab’s Trustworthy AI Lab.

  • I published a paper in the IEEE Annals of the History of Computing on the young women who operated the Voder, the electrical speech synthesis machine presented by AT&T/Bell Labs at the 1939 New York World’s Fair.
