I am an Associate Professor in the Department of English and the Director of the Initiative for Digital Humanities at the University of Texas at Austin. I have a PhD in English Literature and Language and an MFA in fiction.

My primary areas of research are textual studies, sound studies, and infrastructure studies as these concerns impact academic research, research libraries, and the creation of research tools and resources in Digital Humanities (DH). I lead High Performance Sound Technologies for Access and Scholarship (HiPSTAS) projects for the development and interrogation of socio-technical infrastructures to increase access and scholarship with audiovisual cultural heritage collections.
