My research focuses on the anthropology of the life sciences, specifically biotechnology, bioart, and synthetic biology. Within these fields, I’m interested in examining biological materials as social, technical, and aesthetic objects. My recent work dealt with the role of Material Transfer Agreements in standardizing the exchange of biological materials. In addition to this project, my other current research explores the use of acoustic technologies in biological laboratories. I am also interested in the anthropology and philosophy of mathematics.

My research focuses on the anthropology of the life sciences. Broadly, I'm interested in examining how biological systems are increasingly understood by making them. Currently, I am concerned with how a growing number of amateur and craft practitioners use experimental practice — and sensory engagements with biological materials in particular — to critique and intervene into articulations of knowledge and power governing contemporary experimental sciences.

I am a sixth-year doctoral candidate in the HASTS Program at MIT. You can find my HASTS page here.
