Occupation Science & Technology Studies Scholar, Historian, Open Source Techologist
Summary I am an academic researcher with experience studying medical device regulation, R&D practices, and other topics related to business, technology, and public policy. I analyze the impacts and origins of technological, social, and policy changes using traditional textual analysis, computational techniques, and theoretical frameworks from fields such as sociology.
