about

I'm Alia, an Egyptian, Brooklyn-based NYU Politics PhD student and creative technologist at Decifer Studio. My research examines the political implications of the design and development of online platforms and emerging technologies.

I co-build interactive experiences about the impact of technology on society for broad audiences, including:

• The Algorithm: a Mozilla-funded simulation that demystifies social media recommendation algorithms.

• Survival of the Best Fit: a Mozilla-funded educational game on AI bias

• Multiplicity: a curation of articles about the internet

I also love skateboarding 🛹, making playlists 🎶, and playing football ⚽.
