Research
My scholarly interests include health-related quality of life after lung transplantation, active partnerships between patients and clinicians, health information technology, qualitative research, and mixed-methods analysis techniques. My funded program of research focuses on designing and testing health technologies to promote self-management in persons with chronic illness, particularly for cardiothoracic transplant recipients. I serve as co-I on multiple grants including promoting psychosocial outcomes after living donation, the development of quality of life technologies and integrating palliative care after lung transplantation. I have a secondary appointment in the University of Pittsburgh CTSI and serve as a co-project director of the "Technology: Research in Critical and Chronic Illness" (T32 2 NR008857) pre-doctoral and postdoctoral training program.Teaching
For nearly 10 years I have been a primary teacher for ethics courses for students enrolled in the BSN and MSN/DNP programs. I provide invited lectures to undergraduate and graduate students in my areas of interest (e.g., ethical issues, transplantation, technology and mixed-methods research). I hold an adjunct faculty appointment in the Center for Bioethics and Law and serve as a member of the UPMC Hospital Ethics committee.I also teach Qualitative Research Methods in the PhD program and mentor pre and post-doctoral students. I supervise independent studies and practica on a variety of topics for University of Pittsburgh students pursuing undergraduate and graduate degrees in nursing, information science, and computer science and students from Carnegie Mellon University’s Human Computer Interaction Program.
