Thank you to everyone who made our IS Research Spotlight Day such a huge success! The 60+ attendees were greeted with opening statements from Dr. Karl Steiner, VP of Research and Dr. Keith Bowman, Dean of the College of Engineering and Information Technology. The first session were new faculty research spotlights featuring Lei Zhang, Patricia Ordóñez, and Ian Stockwell. The second session featured seven grant and research spotlights from George Karabatis, Sanjay Purushotham, Jianwu Wang, Karen Chen, Zhiyuan Chen, Yaxing Yao, and Anita Komlodi. The departments four research centers, iHARP, CARDS, CARTA, and ISRC each presented an overview of current projects.
The attendees were then treated to two IS alumni entrepreneurship spotlights, The Value Realization Journey, by Matt DiMaria and It’s a People Business by Zhensen Huang. Included in the agenda were 16 poster presentations.
