About Me

I am the Engineering & Collection Analysis Librarian at Iowa State University in Ames, IA, and a Research Associate with the ScholCommLab at the University of Ottawa, Canada.

I am also a PhD candidate at the Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS), Leiden University, Netherlands under the supervision of Drs. Ludo Waltman and Thomas Franssen, expected 2030.

My research focuses on bibliometrics, scholarly communication, and open science. I have published about article processing charges [1], impacts of the 2022 OSTP memo [2], and making collection development decisions using the tool Unsub [3]. I’ve also been an expert consultant to the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy [4] and participated in an NSF grant [5].

Prior to my current role at Iowa State, I worked at Intel for 10 years on NAND flash memory.
