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.
