Research

Papers are hosted here for easy public access. The public pays for us to do research so I think it is silly to restrict access. However, if any copyright holders are mad at me and want a paper taken down please contact me. Supplementary materials and funding information are also provided when possible.

Research Profiles

Primary Research Areas

1. Legacy systems and end-of-life information systems management and maintenance. Primarily from a behavioral lens.

2. Operationalizing technical theory in behavioral research contexts. In particular, concepts from representation theory.

3. Privacy and security, especially as it relates to individual and group behaviors.

4. Information systems contributions towards farmed animal welfare. This is still in preliminary stages.
