Anita Sarma

Anita Sarma is an Associate Professor of Computer Science in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Orgeon State University. Previously she was an Assistant Professor at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln and a post doctoral fellow at the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. She holds a Ph.D. degree in Information and Computer Science from the University of California, Irvine. Her research interests are at the intersection of software engineering and computer-supported cooperative work. She seeks to understand how factors such as interdependencies among work artifacts, design erosion of the work product, and organizational culture affect coordination; and create effective coordination solutions for distributed development by identifying the kinds of information required for coordination, the means of generating and distributing such information, and ways to present it. Anita regular serves on program committees in Software Engineering conferences (ICSE, ASE, ICGSE), has been the co-chair of ICSE 2014 formal demonstration track and serves as a reviewer for TSE, TOSEM, TOCHI.
