I am an assistant professor in the Department of Communication at the University of California, Davis.
I study media and message designs in relational communication--how we may design better media and messages to build more effective relationships.
My research uses online experiments, large-scale content analysis, and multilevel survey data.
Findings have been published in academic journals, such as Communication Research and Information, Communication & Society,
and covered by media outlets like Psychology Today. You may find my work in the Google Scholar page below.
I run a research team that is dedicated to studying communication and relationships.
