I was a Computing Innovation Fellow in the Augmented Social Cognition group at the Palo Alto Research Center. I studied how people use their social networks to fulfill their information needs. Before that, my PhD dissertation focused on how groups make sense of information during collaborative information seeking activities in two domains - Web search and healthcare. During my PhD. program, I had the opportunity to intern twice at Microsoft Research in Redmond, WA in their HCI groups.
I was excited by the opportunity to apply my research on collaboration to real products and complex problems in software, collaboration, human-computer interaction and user experience.
I'm exploring how collaboration and social technologies can be leveraged by GE to support collaborations both among groups within the company as well as for GE's customers.
I'm looking forward to helping GE explore new problems and develop innovative solutions in software, collaboration tools, and analytics. I'm also looking forward to participating in shaping the direction of my team, both in terms of research agenda and team building.
