Research Focus

My research work focusses on hybrid adaptive systems – with a goal of creating research frameworks to design adaptive digital systems suited for the hybrid combination of work & life balance in the post-pandemic remote work contexts that organizations are increasingly moving towards. Using field and lab studies, we explore system designs that foster team collaboration, and team performance in remote contexts. I am also interested in policies and standards for establishing trust in data products and exploring the potential of Open-Source Data lineage frameworks for industrial data exchanges. My work has been published in Journal of the Association for Information Systems, Electronic Markets, ECIS, ICIS, among others.

Research Projects:

Hybrid Adaptive Systems

Brownie

A NeuroIS tool for conducting economic experiments was developed with several researchers at KIT, and used by several groups to conduct both NeuroIS & Web experiments in Economic decision-making contexts as well as Information System design & usage. It was published under the "Path-breaking & interdisciplinary” track of the Journal of the Association for Information Systems (link).

Take Part
A mixed-reality platform aimed at improving civic participation in construction projects

The project was published & demonstrated in several public forums, demonstrating the possibility of involvement of public in shaping as well as including them as stakeholders in shaping participatory systems.
