Prospero is an opensource public display framework designed to simplify the task of building audience-aware public display applications. Prospero provides abstractions for both the social and technical concerns for public display development, including extendable user profiles, recommender systems, context, privacy, and governance.
SSAPP is a Simple Sensor Architecture for Pervasive Prototyping. There are many pervasive computing sensor architectures. However, most of these systems are complex, and not easy for novice users to configure or use. SSAPP is a simple sensor architecture designed to enable developers familiar with internet technologies to rapidly build and deploy pervasive applications.

I'm currently working on my dissertation, titled Building Bridges: A study of agency, innovation, and collaboration in a bridge construction. My dissertation research focuses tells the story of how various professionals worked together to build a bridge that contains a novel building material. I will use the resulting description of that collaboration to develop a new theory of collaboration among professionals with diverse expertise.

Examining the broader social and political issues impacting on -- and being shaped by -- archives. Key questions include: Is there a universal role for archivists, or are there always dimensions located within a specific societal context? What are the main professional and ethical imperatives and who do archives ultimately owe accountability to? What can South African experiences offer other nations undergoing political and social transformation?

My current work looks at materiality and embodiment of technological standards and infrastructures, and the ways in which we "live inside" these constructs across varying levels of scale. The dissertation focuses on the macro or historical level, considering the role of TCP/IP selected as a protocol over OSI shaped the development of technological networks, and the way disciplines access today's cyberinfrastructures. I also have a current project looking at the micro or individual level which involves an ethnography of bodybuilders to see how technological standards, metric, and measurements shape routines and lead to various articulations of physicality.

Political theorists have articulated normative ideals for political deliberation. Theorists argue that democracy flourishes in societies where political discussion is frequent and frequently approaches these deliberative ideals: such societies will make better collective choice on important matters at all levels of government, and those choices will have greater public legitimacy.
I hypothesize that, although political discussion is less frequent in spaces where people have connected for non-political reasons, when it does occur the political discussion may be closer to deliberative ideals. People who have come together for a non-political reason may have diverse political views, and because they have existing relationships to protect, they may more open to other viewpoints and more willing to do the hard work of formulating their own opinions in ways that they think will appeal to others who do not fully share their own political outlook.

The purpose of my dissertation research is to make it easier for users to find documents in shared repositories, by investigating factors that influence their choices when labeling and organizing documents. At a high level, my hypothesis is that users of shared repository systems make choices about how documents should be labeled and where they should be stored in relation to other documents in the repository, and their choices can be influenced by knowledge, beliefs and assumptions about other users. These choices determine how the information in the repository is structured, and the information structure affects whether or not users can find documents they need. The information structure is co-constructed and evolves over time; early choices of individual users can constrain later choices and thus the ability of others to successfully find information.

Daniel's major current project is to develop the Pivots module recommendation system for Drupal.org. The grand goal is to redesign online conversation through the idea of "pivots", which is based on text mining and recommender system techniques.
His next research agenda is to study online deliberation and online communities that could potentially promote democracy in China. This is going to be the prelim research, but has not started yet.
His side projects include: 1) to build a website for the Chinese community in Michigan, 2) to build a website for the now underground China Green Party, 3) to develop the expertise tagging Facebook app, and so on.

As part of my dissertation, I am working on two projects. The first one is "A Case Study of CPOE Adoption and Use: Work-arounds and Their Social-Technical Implications". This study applies ethnographically-based methods to investigate the socio-technical issues during and after a CPOE (Computerized Physician Order Entry) system implementation. The research is conducted in an inpatient unit at an academic medical center, where the CPOE is being implemented and clinicians have been found to develop ways to workaround the system. The findings of the study will help improve our understanding of the interaction between people, information, and IT systems in a highly efficient and highly collaborative clinical environment. The second project is "Re-formation of Healthcare Information: An Opportunity for Health IT ". With the increasing adoption of healthcare IT, there is a need to reinterpret what is considered to be medical records. This study also applies ethnographically-based methods to investigate medical information generation and use in an inpatient unit at UM hospital. The findings of this research will help inform the healthcare communities how healthcare IT can provide an opportunity to re-form healthcare information to better share information within and cross institutions, as well as with patients.
