Ph.D
Leysia Palen is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at the University of Colorado at Boulder (CU). She is part of the Human-Centered Computing area, and have affiliations to other similarly-minded organizations at CU. She has worked in a variety of domains and investigated a range of topics in Human-Centered Computing.
Currently and most actively, she work in the area of Crisis Informatics, which describes the intersecting trajectories of social, technical and information matters in crises and disasters.
Members and affiliates of her's research group-the ConnectivITy Lab-and she are leading research that investigates the evolving role of information and communication technologies (ICT) in emergency and disaster situations, with a particular focus on information dissemination and the implications of ICT-supported public participation on informal and formal crisis response.
