About Me
I'm an Assistant Professor at the Illinois Institute of Technology. I study social media, information visualization, collaboration, and joining processes in organizations/communities. You can read more about my work in posts tagged "research" and on the Research page.
My dissertation, Building Bridges: A Study of Coordination in Projects, tells the story of how various professionals worked together to build a bridge that contains a novel building material. I use data from that bridge project to develop the concept of adaptive capacity - a set of abilities a project team accumulates that allows them to adjust their work to manage uncertain and unpredictable changes in their environment.
When I'm not working on my research, I'm probably cooking, trying to fix my Mac, or learning about bicycles. I work on consulting and social media development projects as the CEO of Research at Work (RAW Labs) and on social media research and tools as a founding member of the Social Media Research Foundation.
