Carman's research

Dr. Neustaedter's research is in the field of human-computer interaction. He studies social culture, user behaviors, group collaboration, and ubiquitous and mobile technology design. This has involved studying, designing, and evaluating a range of technologies including communication, coordination, and gaming systems. His work tends to span many disciplines including computer science, social psychology, sociology, and cultural anthropology.  Dr. Neustaedter's books, and document key portions of his research and methodological practices.

The Connections Lab

is a collection of graduate students and research assistants that studies the design and use of technologies aimed at supporting the everyday activities of families, co-workers, and community members.
