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
collaborate 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. I am particularly interested in healthcare teams
(e.g., patient care teams, IT teams) in hospital settings.
