Anita Sarma is an assistant Professor at the Computer Science and Engineering Department the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. She received her PhD from Department of Informatics; in the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences at the University of California, Irvine and completed her postdoctoral work at Carnegie Mellon University, School of Computer Science.
Anita’s research focuses on understanding and facilitating coordination in distributed work, which involves both software development as well as other non routine intellectual team work. Her work lies at the intersection of Software Engineering and Computer Supported Cooperative Work. She seeks to understand how factors such as interdependencies among work artifacts, design erosion of the work product, and organizational culture affect coordination; and create effective coordination solutions for distributed development by identifying the kinds of information required for coordination, the means of generating and distributing such information, and ways to present it.
