Nicole Starosielski is an Associate Professor in Media, Culture, and Communication at New York University. She is the author of 'Undersea Network' and the coeditor of 'Assembly Codes: Logistics Media', published by Duke University Press. Her work focuses on the cultural dimensions of media technologies, particularly how they intersect with environmental issues.

She engages with various aspects of thermal media, from infrared cameras to air conditioning, to reveal how temperature operates within power relations, reinforcing social hierarchies.
