Hi! I’m Matthew, and I study how we communicate with and through machines.

Specific interests of mine pertain to how people manage their private information and make sense of personalized experiences in the context of human-machine communication and new media. AI is becoming increasingly embedded in everyday technologies without much thought as to how users’ perceptions of privacy management impact their use of new media and, in turn, its impact on them. My current work looks to unravel this.

As a Ph.D. Candidate in Communication and Information at Kent State University, I’m on track to defend my dissertation in spring 2024. I am available for interviews for the 2023–2024 job market for tenure-track academic positions, postdoctoral positions, and research opportunities.
