My interest in this research:
I am interested in studying complex socio-technical systems: networks of people, artifacts, data and ideas. For this project, I am employing social network analyses coupled with light ethnographic methods to a perform a comparative study of scientific collaboration across the four MMM cyberinfrastructure research centers.
