Hello! I’m a PhD Candidate in Information Systems and Management at Heinz College, Carnegie Mellon University.
My research centers on the social and managerial implications of digital technologies. I utilize state-of-the-art empirical estimation methods and machine learning models to address critical questions at the intersection of digital technologies and society. I am deeply committed to understanding how digital innovations influence organizational behavior and societal trends. Through my work, I strive to offer insights that enable organizations to navigate the digital landscape effectively, fostering both technological advancement and social good.
My recent work examines how privacy concerns impact mobile health app usage in the wake of the Dobbs v. Jackson decision. Using user-session level Android app usage data, I show that after the ruling, apprehensions about the potential use of reproductive health data in abortion-related prosecutions created a substantial chilling effect on health-app engagement. Specifically, I found a significant decrease in usage, with a more pronounced effect among women and on apps that focus on reproductive health tracking. I also document an increase in privacy-preserving behaviors, such as the adoption of secure browsers, indicating shifts in user behavior in response to heightened privacy risks. My work highlights how privacy concerns can influence healthcare technology adoption, with broader implications for digital health platforms.
