_Welcome!

_I am a Professor of Information
Studies at Syracuse University. Before coming to Syracuse I worked for a year at Ohio University and before that I was a visiting scholar at the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota. I got both my master's in Economics and my Ph.D. in Political Economy and Public Policy degrees from the the University of Southern California. I got interested in the information policy field because while doing my Ph.D. I worked at USC’s Center for Telecommunications Management
where I was involved in developing industry-sponsored
reports about the telecommunications and cable sectors.
During my sabbaticals I have been able to learn more about this field through the various vising positions I took ad different organizations and universities. I for example worked as a regulatory officer at the International Telecommunications Union in Geneva, Switzerland. I was also a visiting scholar at the Internet and Telecommunications Convergence Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and at the University of British Columbia School of Library, Archival & Information Studies (SLAIS) My research focuses on regulation of information and communication technologies which draws from institutional economics and information economics. I am interested in the impact of regulation on business behavior, factors that affect infrastructure deployment, regulation of telecommunications in Latin America, and the digital divide. In the last couple of years I have been writing various text about theory construction. |
