Dr. Garcia-Murillo is the Dean of the College of Information Science and Technology at University of Nebraska Omaha. With expertise in institutional, behavioral and information economics, she focuses her work on the impact of information and communication technologies (ICTs) on society. Her research has explored the impact of ICTs on the creation of new businesses, the informal economy, corruption and employment.

She have published close to one hundred papers, reports, chapters, and edited books. I consulted for the World Bank, the International Telecommunication Union, Canada’s IDRC and the US State Department. I have been a recipient of several awards such as
the Telefonica Chair award, a Visiting Research Fellowship in Spain, and a Fulbright research fellowship at Barcelona Institute of International Studies (IBEI), in Spain where I looked at the impact of technology on employment. I am a fellow of the Columbia University Tele-Informatics (CITI) network that brings together top scholars in the information field to learn and to foster collaboration. I am editing a book about AI at work with contributions from scholars at institutions including the International Labor Organization, the Center for European Policy Studies, and UI-Chicago’s Institute for Health Research and Policy.
