The PhD news: Year four is underway. I’m currently recruiting for an interview/data collection study involving money behaviors and bipolar disorder. We’re aiming to design personalized, privacy-preserving, supportive financial technologies tailored to this illness. These days I’m pinching myself that I get to think about this so deeply.

I’ll be traveling to Japan for CHI 2025 where I’m co-organizing a workshop The Future of Money and HCI. I’m also planning to attend ISBD 2025. So I’ll be running laps to Tokyo. Thankfully.

I have an gig scheduled in mid-April at the Center for Wellbeing in Lemont, PA. I’ll perform on tabla with Open Music. This will a special one, deliberately acoustic instruments only. Previously I have joined Open Music for a performance of In C. Details and a recording to follow.

PS. I’m really enjoying reading Ways of Seeing by John Berger. I’m also excited for All Media is Training Data by Holly Herndon & Mat Dryhurst.
