New Faculty
Radhika Garg joined the iSchool’s tenure-track faculty in August 2017 as assistant professor.
She received her Ph.D. and Master of Science degrees in computer science from the University of Zurich in Switzerland and her bachelor of technology in computer science from the Mody Institute of Technology in Rajasthan, India.
Before coming to Syracuse, Garg worked as a junior researcher for the Communications Systems Group at the University of Zurich. Her research interests include information science, economics and the impact of regulation on public policy, business decisions, deployment and operation and maintenance of network and communication technology. She plans to continue to explore the design, development and application of novel analytical decision systems (including information and user modeling for understanding complex technologies and their ecosystems) in the areas of healthcare, technology, network and service management and energy.
Garg says she enjoys the iSchool’s interdisciplinary culture and the collaboration it permits with faculty, staff and students on projects related to decisions made by users and organizations regarding emerging technologies. She has been teaching the iSchool’s graduate-level Cloud Management course (IST 600).
