DICE:
Discovering Innovation
Communities and Ecosystems
Taking the "eco" in
science and technology innovation ecosystems seriously,
Professor
Brian Butler and I are advancing an ecology theory
of innovation ecosystems, developing a set of
theoretically-informed metrics for characterizing
developing innovation ecosystems, and creating a
computational-enabled dataset creation and management
platform.

STICK: Science and
Technology Innovation Concept Knowledge-base
This project is sponsored
by the National Science Foundation, under a
Science of Science and Innovation Policy grant.
Professors
Yan Qu,
Ben Shneiderman, and I led an interdisciplinary team
to achieve two primary goals: (1) to build a collection
of studies that examine the emergence and evolutions of
science and technology innovations, and (2) to develop a
set of visual analytic tools for monitoring and
understanding such emergence and evolution. Read more about the project
