E.Ilana Diamant
Welcome!
I am a PhD researcher in Information Systems and recent graduate of the
Katz Graduate School of Business at the University of Pittsburgh.
I study distributed collaboration, CSCW, and more specifically social and organizational issues in the development of community-based information systems, such as
Cyber-Infrastructures,
Collaboratories, and
Open-Source Software. I am also investigating the
role of culture in computer-mediated communication.

"Conflict in CyberInfrastructure Development" presentation at AoM '09 went great. Let's see if we can write a journal article out of this.
