About me

I am Mervenur Çetin, a Ph.D. Candidate in Communication at the University of Colorado Boulder. My work examines how people talk about emerging technologies, especially artificial intelligence. From a sociotechnical perspective, I study the dynamic relationship between design and sense-making processes centered on identity and culture. Drawing on how people communicate with, through and about technologies, my research provides practical design and policy recommendations for using and learning technologies. This site shares my ongoing projects, publications, and opportunities for collaboration.

A large, wall-mounted transparent panel filled with overlapping translucent shapes resembling speech bubbles, code fragments, and interface wireframes, all floating above a clean, modern sideboard. The panel’s elements subtly form an abstract outline of a brain, hinting at identity, culture, and artificial intelligence converging. Below, closed books with neutral covers and a single ceramic vase sit in ordered alignment. Soft, diffused studio lighting from the top left creates delicate reflections on the panel and crisp but gentle shadows on the wall. Photographic realism, eye-level composition with the panel centered, emphasizing clarity and conceptual depth. The mood is thoughtful and professional, ideal for a header image on an academic portfolio site about discourse and technology.

Collaboration

I welcome collaborations on projects exploring digital discourse, AI in everyday life, and the design of communicative technologies. I can contribute expertise in qualitative methods, critical theory, and interdisciplinary partnerships across communication, design, human–computer interaction, and science and technology studies.
