I’m excited to continue exploring these ideas as faculty and am on the lookout for tenure-track positions. Please let me know of relevant openings! And if you want to support my job search, I would appreciate a repost ♻️

I am grateful to have received an ACM @acm-sigchi.bsky.social Special Recognition for my work. You can read more about this and my approach to sustainable computing research in this lovely feature: cs.uchicago.edu/news/jasmine... (6/7)

Finally, I use tech as a medium to explore ideas of how tech *could* be designed. I engineered a 'living' smartwatch with slime mold (UIST'22). Users have to take care of the watch (feeding and watering it) in order for heart rate sensing to work.

I also take a broad perspective on e-waste, engaging with it as a dynamic sociotechnical system. I've explored this in 'Unmaking E-waste' (TOCHI'24), using qualitative methods to explore the unique technical and material properties of e-waste.

At CHI'25, I demonstrated ProtoPCB, a system I designed that uses computer vision to search for ways to retrofit new circuits onto existing e-waste PCBs. ProtoPCB encodes clever electronics engineering tricks to widen the search space for reuse!

I developed ecoEDA (UIST’23 paper, Best Paper Honorable Mention) to introduce a different way of designing electronics: by reusing components from e-waste. We encode strategies for reuse through suggested component swaps within the design editor.
