 Research

What I do

My research focuses on the digital afterlives of our online data.

Beginning in January of 2020, I started working as an undergraduate research assistant for The Identity Lab at the University of Colorado Boulder. I began by helping with miscellaneous projects surrounding the needs and preferences of data and online platforms for deceased users and how both the dying/deceased and the bereaved needs can be met.

I am currently part of three ongoing studies:

The impact of content and relationships on preferences for the accounts and data of deceased loved ones

My project explores the impact of content and relationships on preferences for the accounts and data of deceased loved ones with the goal of creating a guide for how designers should address different types of online platforms, accounts, and data in order to better support the bereaved by creating new or improved processes for post-mortem data management.
