About Me:
I am a cultural anthropologist with a specialization in business and organizational applied anthropology. After 25 years in the private sector, as a consultant and entrepreneur, I have moved to academe and find myself in a very interesting position working with engineers on cultural issues, both in education and research. It's lots of fun. My researchis both applied, in the design of global engineering systems, as well as basic with a NSF grant to study the diffusion of innovation in the global networked enterprise.
