Research:

I am a PhD student in Communication at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

I am interested in the diffusion of communication technologies (Internet and mobile phones in particular) and factors which moderate diffusion: cultural, political, economic, etc. I also study new media technologies, in particular social media and Web 2.0.

I am particularly interested in cross-cultural comparison and using techniques such as HLM to control for variance at the group and/or individual level.

Most of my research takes place in the Former Soviet Union.
