Current CV

I joined the faculty in the College of Information Sciences and Technology (IST) at Penn State in 2005.

I received my Ph.D. from the Bren School of Information and Computer Science at the University of California, Irvine in the Computing, Organizations, Policy, and Society (now known as Interactive and Collaborative Technologies) group. I had wonderful time at UCI and was lucky enough to work with and learn from some great faculty members (Paul Dourish, Wanda Pratt, John King, Mark Ackerman, Jonathan Grudin, Gloria Mark).

I am particularly interested in understanding how people collabroate with each other during the course of their everyday work and how we can support this collaboration through the development of more effective information technologies. I am particularly interested in collaboration in the healthcare field. Consequently, much of my current research occurs at the intersections of CSCW, Medical Informatics, and Information Sciences with a focus on two major research topics: (1) Collaborative Information Behavior and (2) Collaboration and Coordination in Healthcare Teams. Since I am particularly interested in healthcare teams (e.g., patient care teams, IT teams) most of my research projects are conducted in hospital settings.
