Research Interests
My current research focuses on the impact of information and telecommunication technology (ITT) on groups and organizations. This research is multi-disciplinary and combines work from Social Network Analysis, Organization Theory, Organizational Learning, Cognitive Science, Sociology, Communication, Computer Science and Multi-Agent Systems. Recent work has specifically examined the public goods nature of knowledge databases and how the use of such technology effects organizational performance through changes in the organizational networks and the diffusion of knowledge. This work has used multi-agent simulation to analyze the complex, non-linear interaction of multiple variables. Also of interest to me is the collection and analysis of social network data within organizations.

Projects

    KDI
  • Member of multi-disciplinary research team that includes researchers from Carnegie Mellon University, Stanford University, University of Illinois and University of Southern California. Distributed expertise among the team members include Social Network Analysis, Social Psychology, Communication and Multi-Agent Simulation.
  • Team goals are to conduct multi-disciplinary research, create theory, collect and analyze empirical data, and validate and dock multi-agent models.
  • Created knowledge networks from empirical data collected within large corporations. These networks were used to simulate these organizations in multi-agent computational models.
  • Presented on-going research at two KDI meetings. Research focused on the use of corporate intranets.
