About
John is the OCEAN Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Vermont Complex Systems Center at the University of Vermont. After starting his career as an aerospace engineer, John received his PhD from the University of Michigan in Design Science where he studied management & organizations, complex system design, and diversity. Outside of work, he enjoys staying active, listening to podcasts, spending time with friends, and playing with his pet rabbit.
Current Work
John's research studies how people communicate in organizations and how communication patterns affect group outcomes. He conducts interviews and surveys to uncover what happens and why it happens, and then uses computer simulations and analyses of large datasets to understand how those patterns affect group outcomes. One of his current projects looks at purposefully ambiguous communication in social networks, when it helps an organization, and when it hurts it. Another of his projects explores new research on work as a masculinity con,, when those cultures creates the "glass ceiling," and ways to redesign organizations to remove that barrier.
