I’m a Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Michigan School of Information. My research examines how technology can address information inequality in healthcare and digital safety, particularly among low-literate populations, women in patriarchal societies, and refugee communities.

Combining qualitative research, participatory design, and randomized experiments, I develop and evaluate systems with communities and public institutions in Pakistan and the United States. My work spans voice-based health services, immunization systems, technology-facilitated gender-based violence, and community responses to online scams. Several of these projects have reached tens of thousands of people or produced designs adopted by government.

My research has received support from NSF, NIH, the Gates Foundation, USAID, UNICEF, and Google. I hold a PhD in Design Science from the University of Michigan and a master’s degree from the University of Colorado Boulder, where I was a Fulbright Scholar.
