Suresh Bhavnani is an assistant professor in the School of Information. He holds an interdisciplinary doctorate in computational design  from the Carnegie Mellon University College of Fine Arts and human-computer interaction from the CMU School of Computer Science . Prior to his doctoral work, he was product manager at Intergraph Corp. , where he developed interactive knowledge-based systems for CAD applications.
Bhavnani's research focuses on the strategic use of complex computer systems with applications to training and to design. While a post-doctoral fellow at the HCI institute at CMU , he developed a framework to teach students general and efficient strategies to use computer applications. A grant from the National Science Foundation enabled the framework to be implemented and tested in three universities. This included the development and testing of the first freshman course (SI 101 ) at the School of Information .
His current research focuses on identifying the critical components of strategic knowledge necessary for the effective retrieval of information on the Web in domains such as healthcare, and E-commerce. The larger goal of his research is to develop a general theory of strategic knowledge that can be used to systematically identify strategies for the effective use of computer systems with applications to training and to design. |
