Information on Editor
Dr. Chetan S. Sankar has been a member of DSI since 1989 and have served as an editorial review board member of DSJIE since its inception in 2002. He has been a principal investigator/ co-principal investigator on seven grants from the NSF, with an overall budget of about $2.2 million. He is currently the co-director of the Laboratory for Innovative Technology and Engineering Education at Auburn University (www.liteee.org).
This laboratory continues to develop its series of award-winning case studies that are used in business and engineering classrooms at different academic institutions. As the director of LITEE, he manages a team of business and engineering graduate and undergraduate students, and work closely with faculty colleagues at Auburn University and several other institutions. The research conducted to evaluate the value of these educational innovations has so far been published in 20 journal articles and 30 conference articles. LITEE has been recognized for its achievements by the National Academy of Engineers and is one of the dissemination channel partners of the Center for Advancement of Scholarship for Engineering Education (CASEE). He served as the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (JSTEM) Education: Innovations and Research (www.jstem.org) from 2000 to 2007. He has also served as the mini-track-chair of the “Information Technologies in Education” track in the Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) since 2002. This track attracts about 20 to 40 papers every year.
His research interests have focused on developing innovative instructional materials that bring real-world issues into business and engineering classrooms.

He is a member of the Decision Sciences Institute, and APICS and serves as a member of the editorial review board for Decision Sciences Journal of Innovative Education, Quality Management Journal and International Journal of Operations and Quantitative Management.
My research interests include scheduling, discrete optimization, statistics and quality management, and innovative classroom and real world applications of management science with spreadsheets.
Christine T. Kydd is an Associate Professor at the University of Delaware. She has a Ph.D. in Decision Sciences from the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. She also received a B.A in Mathematics from Bucknell University and an MBA from Drexel University. She has published several articles in such journals as MIS Quarterly, OMEGA: The International Journal of Management Science, Data Base, Information and Management, Journal of Computer Information Systems, Decision Sciences Journal of Innovative Education, Journal of Management Education and Group and Organization Studies. Her major areas of interest include behavioral issues related to the use of collaboration technologies for group work, particularly electronic communication media, managerial decision processes and factors related to World Wide Web use. She also studies the way students learn in face-to-face mode versus online format.
My research interests focus mainly around the behavioral issues related to the use of collaboration technologies for group work. I have studied how students and managers accept and use various electronic collaboration technologies for completing group work, focusing specifically on the use of email and videoconferencing. In several studies I have completed, I examined how effectively the more recently developed communication technologies can be used for teamwork. With my colleagues, I designed and developed an instrument for measuring the media richness of the various technologies. Most recently, we are in the process of studying how electronic communication tools support cross-cultural group work.
I have also worked on the education side of research, examining how various electronic tools can help students to learn better, both in a face-to-face class setting as well as in an online format. I have designed various electronic tools to help students more easily learn about such concepts as linear programming, project management and other Operations Management tools and techniques. I have also compared the learning of my online students to that of my face-to-face students by looking at learning styles, majors and various other variables.
Patrick McMullen has an undergraduate degree in Industrial Engineering from the University of Louisville (1987). I have an MBA from Butler University (1991), and a Ph.D. from the University of Oregon (1995). I have held engineering positions in the food and automotive industries. I have held teaching appointments at the University of Oregon, Auburn University, Harvard University and Wake Forest University. In my spare time, I pursue cycling and woodcarving.

My research interests are essentially eclectic, but I've had my greatest success in the area of production scheduling. I have a great interest in determining production sequences with some sort of objective function in mind. These problems are typically combinatorial in nature, so the traditional mathematical programming approaches are ineffective. As such, I address these problems via search heurisics--algorithms intended to obtain desirable, although not necessarily optimal, solutions to these problems.
Grandon Gill is an Associate Professor in the Information Systems and Decision Sciences department at the University of South Florida. He holds a doctorate in Management Information Systems from Harvard Business School, where he also received his M.B.A. He has published extensively in prestigious journals such as MIS Quarterly. He serves as an Editor, Associate Editor or member of the Editorial Board of several education-related journals, including Journal of IT Education, Decision Sciences Journal of Innovative Education and Journal of IS Education. He is also the only two-time winner of the Decision Science Institute's Innovative Curriculum competition.
Currently, his principal research area is MIS education, where he has published many articles describing how technologies and innovative pedagogies can be combined to increase the effectiveness of teaching across a broad range of IS topics. Within the education area, his particular focus is the use of information technology to enhance learning in both classroom and distance learning settings. He is also studying the use of case studies as pedagogical and research tools for addressing complex problems.
