About

I am an assistant professor of Criminal Justice and Criminology. My research focuses on how emerging tools — from AI-assisted body-worn cameras to co-response models — reshape police behavior, officer decision-making, and community outcomes. My work sits at the intersection of criminology, public health, and applied policy evaluation.
