Catherine Wieczorek is a designer and researcher pursuing a PhD in Human-Centered Computing at Georgia Tech’s School of Interactive Computing. Her research examines how time becomes infrastructural, tracing how temporal arrangements of urgency, delay, and repetition shape technologically mediated forms of governance, care, and access. Drawing on feminist and STS traditions, she uses design ethnography to surface how temporal patterns reproduce inequity and to imagine more accountable relationships between time, technology, and public life. She has worked across domains including sexual health, water conservation, agriculture, and public libraries.

Previously, Catherine worked at public health research centers and consultancies including the D-Lab at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Flip Labs, and the Design Lab at the Center for Interdisciplinary Inquiry and Innovation in Sexual and Reproductive Health (Ci3) at the University of Chicago. Before moving into research-focused work, she started out as a graphic designer in Chicago. She holds a M.S. in Informatics from Penn State University, MDes from the IIT Institute of Design, and B.A. in Visual Communication from Loyola University Chicago.
