My research interests include digital humanities and information accessibility, with a focus on making visual cultural materials more open and usable for diverse audiences, especially people without technical backgrounds and those with different access needs.
Upcoming
I will attend the 4S 2026 Conference in Toronto during October 7-10 for a panel discussion.
