Research Interests
I am interested in mediated interaction. My overall research agenda
investigates how knowledge is developed, transformed, shared, and effectively
mobilized in and among individuals, organizations, and communities,
and how technology mediates this process. Specific research projects
have studied this topic in scientific disciplines (Artificial Intelligence),
organizations (Decision Support Systems, Knowledge Management, Network
Organizations), distributed collectives (Free/Open Source Software),
and complex socio-ecological systems (GIS, Agent-Based Modeling and
Simulation).
