Associate Dean, Research & Innovation
Carnegie Mellon University
In the fast-paced and increasingly interdisciplinary research landscape, effective knowledge management has become critical to the success of teams. The talk will explore the potential of personal and collaborative knowledge management systems designed to foster idea emergence, identify research gaps, and coordinate tasks across projects. By integrating foundational resources, glossaries, expert networks, and tracking future trends, these open customized systems serve as essential knowledge infrastructure to support the exploration of complex, cross-disciplinary problems. Attendees will gain insights into how these tools can pragmatically accelerate research team collaboration and innovation. The session will feature a live demonstration of a prototype system designed to support both individual researchers and teams in mapping new directions for their work.
