Hi, I am Chinar. I am an engineer turned communications researcher interested in all things technology - but particularly, its cultures, histories, and ways of being in society.
Currently, I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Maastricht University. I am working with the Hype Studies network.
I channel my energies towards simplifying complicated research in science, tech, and the social sciences for a different kinds of audiences.
