My research areas include:

• the history and theory of photography, cinema, and digital media

• lens-based and time-based art

• popular visual culture from the 19th century through today

• emergent and experimental media, hybrid and compound formats

• computational imaging (computational photography, computer vision, and photogrammetry)

• immersive and interactive media (panoramic/stereoscopic, AR/VR/MR)

• scientific visualization and visual cultures of science (especially astronomy/astrophysics, geography/mapping, and the study of bodies/identities through images)

• phenomenology and philosophies of embodiment and technics.

My research has been supported by fellowships from the American Council of Learned Societies, the Getty Foundation, and National Endowment for the Humanities.

My first book, Depth Effects, explores dimensional connections between photography and AI.

I’m working on a second book tracing the aesthetic history of astronomical imaging, tentatively titled Seeing Stars. I recently presented part of this project at a conference on tele-visions in Paris, a symposium on art and Astronomy in Milan and a conference on Deep Time at UC Santa Barbara.
