My core research investigates writing technologies with a focus on audience interactions. In other words, my research examines the following question: how can writers better consider their audiences given their interactions with audiences? This research aims to create better writing habits, workflows, and routines. In an era of AI writing technologies (ChatGPT, Claude, Deepseek), when writers can interact with chatbots, these queries are more important than ever.
Such research has five sub-themes: (1) writing in interactive environments, e.g., social media, (2) writing interfaces and user design, (3) machine learning and “AI” communication, (4) the effects of automation on writing, and (5) STEM writing.
Topical research interests:
- Interactions between writers and audiences
- Science writing. Specifically, the writing process of scientists in machine learning & artificial intelligence
- Internet culture
- Technical writing
- The teaching of writing/teacher-student interactions, such as in feedback/commenting
Methodological research interests:
- Case study methods
- Psychometrics
- Interview methods
- Natural language processing
- Bibliometrics
- Web-scraping
