My primary research interest centers on Information Systems (IS) development processes in dynamic environments. I have investigated different aspects of IS development in dynamic environments characterized by time-to-market pressures, ambiguous user requirements, and rapid changes in competitive threats, stakeholder preferences, and software technologies. Over the course of my professional career, I have established the following three research streams: (1) Agile software development process and methodology; (2) IT investment, governance and system development process; and (3) knowledge and data management in IS development, implementation and operation. Beyond the three major research streams, I have also studied research productivity in the field of IS. I have published more than 40 articles, 21 of which appear in premier journals such as Information Systems Research, Journal of Management Information Systems, Journal of the Association of Information Systems, European Journal of Information Systems, Decision Support Systems, ACM Transactions on Management Information Systems, ACM Transactions on Management Information Systems, ACM Journal of Data and Information Quality. My work has also appeared in high quality journals such as Group Decision and Negotiation, as well as in premier professional journals such as Communications of the ACM and IEEE Software. In addition, I have presented my research at prestigious conferences and workshops such as the International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS), Workshop on Information Technologies and Systems (WITS). I have also served as the track co-chair at the Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) for four years, and as associate editor at ICIS. I have also been awarded three ODU research grants and was one of the winners of the Faculty Preparation Proposal Program by ODU Office of Research. I was selected as the E. V. Williams Research Fellow in 2012 for “outstanding scholarly productivity”. I was also recognized as the 12th most cited researcher during 2001-2012 in the literature on Agile Software Development [see Chuang, S.W., Luor, T., and Lu, H.P, “Assessment of Institutions, Scholars, and Contributions on Agile Software Development (2001 to 2012)”, The Journal of Systems and Software, vol. 93, 2014. pp. 84-101]
