About me

Manager, Governance Science Research
Research lab: Watson Research Center (Hawthorne)
I am the Manager of the Governance Science Research Group at the IBM Watson Research Center. My group focuses on developing new techniques for aligning software development and delivery with organizational goals. Our 2008 agenda includes developing new models for understanding the value and risks associated with development projects, creating approaches for supporting iterative and agile development, and developing technologies for understanding and influencing the social dynamics in technical teams. The unifying thread for our work is a perspective that software development and delivery is a complex, adaptive, creative process.
I received my MS (1990) and PhD (1994) in computer science from Texas A&M University. My MS focus was on predicting code-based measurements from models, and my PhD work was on combining qualitative and quantitative reasoning to understand complex adaptive biological systems.
