About

I am a Professor of Information and Robotics at the School of Information and the College of Engineering Robotics Department at the University of Michigan. I am also an ACM Distinguished Member, AIS Distinguished Member "Cum Laude" and an INFORMS and IEEE Senior Member. In the past, my research focused on teamwork with technology. However, as my interests have broadened a more accurate description would be to say that I now focus on collaboration through and with technology. My research has been accepted for publication in leading information systems and information science journals, including MIS Quarterly (MISQ), Information Systems Research (ISR), Journal of Management Information Systems (JMIS), Journal of the Association of Information Systems (JAIS), PACM on Human-Computer Interaction (PACM-HCI), IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters (RAL) and the Journal of the Association Information Science and Technology, (JAIST). In addition, my research has also been published in premier human-computer interaction conferences such as ACM Computer Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing (CSCW), ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI), ACM/IEEE Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), ACM International Conference on Supporting Group Work (GROUP) and International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), and computational social and data science conferences such as International AAAI Conference on Web and Social Media (ICWSM), International World Wide Web Conference (WWW) and the ACM International Conference on Web Search and Data Mining (WSDM). My research has been sponsored by the AAA Foundation, Automotive Research Center/U.S. Army, Army Research Laboratory, Toyota Research Institute, MCity, Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies and the National Science Foundation.
