My research concentrates on the design and adoption of IT artefacts in many different environments and settings (e.g. SMEs and large organisations) to facilitate knowledge sharing, networking, collaboration and team work. This includes for example virtual communities, coworking hubs and knowledge-intensive work environments. In this context specific areas of focus is knowledge sharing, the builing of social capital, managing chronic illness using social media and the design and development of virtual artifacts for learning through knowledge sharing and transfer. More current work is focused on various aspects that relate to knowledge leakage and regulatory frameworks to protect the privacy of individuals in a more connected and digitized world.
