My research interests lie at the intersection of mobility, identity, and mobile communication. Specifically, I am interested in the ways that people use mobile media while mobile, how people perceive mobile media in relation to themselves (e.g., “self-phones”), and the extent to which these processes are interwoven. To tackle these questions, I use experiments, experience sampling method, log data, and qualitative and quantitative surveys and draw from communication, psychology, and mobility studies.
