Prospero is an opensource public display framework designed to simplify the task of building audience-aware public display applications. Prospero provides abstractions for both the social and technical concerns for public display development, including extendable user profiles, recommender systems, context, privacy, and governance.
SSAPP is a Simple Sensor Architecture for Pervasive Prototyping. There are many pervasive computing sensor architectures. However, most of these systems are complex, and not easy for novice users to configure or use. SSAPP is a simple sensor architecture designed to enable developers familiar with internet technologies to rapidly build and deploy pervasive applications.

In my dissertation work, I focus on the concept of networked home mode production -- the use of snapshot media in computer-mediated settings for family communication and biography construction. One goal in this endeavor is to develop a more nuanced and theoretically grounded perspective on user-generated content systems, while also contributing to a broader dialogue about technology and well-being.

Political Diversity Online: When political discussion includes diverse points of view, societies make better collective decisions at all levels of government, and these choices have greater public legitimacy. I seek to identify online spaces where diverse political discussion already occurs and identify ways to select and present diverse items in online news aggregators.
Social software for wellness: We are building and deploying a series of social software applications designed to support various aspects of wellness. This will help us learn more about best practices for adding social dimensions to these applications. Our first application is Three Good Things. Participants in the Three Good Things positive psychology exercise list three positive events each day - big or small - and reflect on the reasons they occurred. This exercise has been shown to increase happiness and decrease symptoms of depression.

Presently, I am working on my dissertation which focuses on participatory behavior in "open contribution systems" - online applications that encourage users to openly contribute and share content in a "public" networked environment. I am interested investigating what motivates individuals to contribute, share and collaborate with relative strangers in these systems. What drives individuals to contribute personal effort and time on open contribution systems such as wikipedia? What makes the users of these systems collaborate with each other towards collective goals? In order to begin answering some of these questions, I employ a mixed methodological toolkit - combining social network analysis with ethnographic work to better understand the motivations and dynamics of the participatory behavior exhibited by both the individual as well as the community of users as a whole. The findings generated by this research endeavor will inform interventions and design recommendations that help develop systems which encourage participation, cooperation and sharing.

Daniel's major current project is to develop the Pivots module recommendation system for Drupal.org. The grand goal is to redesign online conversation through the idea of "pivots", which is based on text mining and recommender system techniques.
His next research agenda is to study online deliberation and online communities that could potentially promote democracy in China. This is going to be the prelim research, but has not started yet.
His side projects include: 1) to build a website for the Chinese community in Michigan, 2) to build a website for the now underground China Green Party, 3) to develop the expertise tagging Facebook app, and so on.

Currently, I am working on my doctoral thesis with "persistence and enthusiasm" [quote from my adviser Mark]. This is an ethnographic study in a hospital where I have been shadowing doctors and nurses since January, 2008. I am investigating gaps in clinicians' recorded medical information, with a special focus on patient psychosocial information. Recorded knowledge objects raise privacy and liability concerns. While these concerns are modest for medical orders and prescriptions, they are significant for interpreting patient motives, their emotional states, and social histories. Missing information can result in a high number of inappropriate patient admissions, delayed diagnoses, ineffective treatments, prolonged hospitalization, and ultimately higher costs of medial care. The findings of my thesis work have both significant practical and theoretical implications. Read more about my thesis work and other ongoing projects on my personal webpage.
