Beyond Self-Control: Reflective Mobile Use for Adolescents
This project explores how adolescents interpret and reshape everyday mobile technology use through reflection and lived judgment. Using youth participatory action research, adolescents act as co-researchers to examine the meanings of "mindless" use and challenge control-focused narratives. Through co-designed reflective activities and iterative prototyping, the project develops approaches that foster critical and self-aware relationships with mobile technologies.

Everyday AI Auditing: Youth Tools for Responsible Text-to-Image (T2I) Use
This research investigates everyday algorithm auditing of text-to-image (T2I) AI by youth as a lens for designing support for critical use in everyday interaction. We aim to design an auditing tool that can be integrated into youths' routine T2I use to scaffold critical engagement by empowering youth to detect and make sense of problematic model behaviors and reflect on their experiences.
