I am a Mixed Methods Researcher and Lecturer at the University at Albanyโ€™s Massry School of Business, specializing in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Business Analytics. My work sits at the intersection of data science and behavioral psychology, where I use computational linguistics and AI-driven modeling to understand and optimize how people engage with digital information.

UAlbany โ€” Academic Home Base

A significant part of my current research, teaching, and collaborative work grows out of my role at the University at Albany. I am a faculty member in the Department of Information Systems and Business Analytics at the Massry School of Business , where my work connects business education, data, technology, and applied research.

I am also affiliated faculty in the Department of Information Sciences and Technology / Informatics at the College of Emergency Preparedness, Homeland Security and Cybersecurity. Together, these academic homes reflect the interdisciplinary nature of my work across information systems, analytics, artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, and technology-driven decision-making.
