About
How does technology affect your economic life? Max's research focuses on the ways social media and digital finance shape how we make, spend, invest, and learn about money.
Max is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Virginia working with the Thriving Youth in a Digital Environment (TYDE) initiative. His current research seeks to detail how financial and media literacy collide in the digital age, and how that impacts young adults' financial well-being. He's a research fellow with Communication Technology Research Lab (CTRL) based out of the University of Pittsburgh in which he studies the nexus of cryptocurrency and disinformation. He's also co-editing a book called Shitcoin, which offers a history of the crypto industry through a collection of critical essays.
