Prof. Charlotte P. Lee is the Director of the Computer Supported Collaboration (CSC) Laboratory. CSC Lab conducts research to inform the design of information systems for collaboration.

CSC Lab investigates the development and use of information infrastructures in science and engineering, computer supported cooperative work (CSCW), and computer supported cooperative leisure. Recent projects have explored these themes in domains like environmental microbiology, functional brain imaging, museum exhibit design, and even hobbyist rubber duck collectors.

We use primarily qualitative social science research methods, often conducting interviews or observational fieldwork in places of work and leisure to holistically investigate information systems as evolving social and technical entities.
