I am an archaeologist with a strong investment in the natural sciences and digital applications. Before earning my interdisciplinary Ph.D. in archaeology at the University of Pennsylvania, I majored in Biophysics (Pre-Medicine), which explains in part why I espouse transdisciplinary approaches that seamlessly integrate the social sciences, natural sciences, and humanities to nurture new creative spaces. I am currently a senior research fellow at the MIT Center for Materials Research in Archaeology and Ethnology.
