Welcome
to my home page. I hold a dual-culture
faculty position at the University of Hawaii at the intersection
of
Information & Computer Sciences and Library & Information
Science. I'm interested in how people integrate diverse types of
knowledge, from collections of diverse documents to the work of people
with different kinds of expertise.I study information integration in interdisciplinary scientific collaborations as a Co-Investigator with the NASA Astrobiology Institute at UH, and in social computing environments with the Answerbag question answering community.
I am also Chair of the Interdisciplinary PhD Program in Communication and Information Sciences, which encompasses four units and three colleges across the University of Hawaii.
