Hello. I'm a PhD Candidate at the School of Information at UC Berkeley. I study motivations and incentives for online participation.
I study perceptions of trust, reliability, and security online. I study musicians' online social networks. I use multiple methodologies
like lab studies, surveys, qualitative interviews, and social network analysis. I draw from social psychology,
behavioral economics, anthropology, and sociology. I'm a husband and a dog owner. I'm a web designer and a coder
and a gamer. I'm a cooker and an eater and a drinker and a music lover. Drop me a line.
