Brief Bio:

Dezhi Wu is an Assistant Professor of Information Systems in the CSIS Department at Southern Utah University in Cedar City, UT. She received her  Ph. D. degree in Information Systems from the New Jersey Institute of Technology.

Research Interests:

Dr. Wu's primary research interests are in capturing and designing temporal structures into electronic time management/calendar systems. This  has involved work on modeling the relationship between personal use of temporal structures involving electronic time  management/calendar systems and the quality of individual time management. She has also worked in the areas of human-computer  interaction, asynchronous learning networks, knowledge management, mobile collaboration, and personalization systems.
