I am a researcher, programmer, media artist, and game designer currently completing a PhD at UC Davis. I have presented my research on game studies, histories of computing, and science and technology studies globally at over twenty venues. My dissertation, “Modeling Revolution: A Global History of Games as Model Systems,” tells a global history of modeling technologies focusing on the use of games as models for conceptualizing systems—from the cosmological, divinatory, and mathematical uses of games in the ancient world to the contemporary use of games and game concepts in machine learning and the sciences. Beyond this ongoing project, I have researched a range of topics related to global science and technology, and have years of experience leading research projects and teaching undergraduate courses in critical data science, game design, science studies and literature.
