Jeffrey Nickerson

Dr. Nickerson's current research interests are focused on the role of networks in creative behavior. He is studying the way crowdsourcing can be used to design complex artifacts. Related to this, he is interested in the way diagrams and other external representations are used to guide the design process in design, and particularly in the design of software.
His research on social networks also looks at the way networks are used to create trends and define standards.
