Chirag Shah is associate professor in both the School of Communication & Information (SC&I) and the Department of Computer Science at Rutgers University. His research interests include information seeking/retrieval in individual, social and collaborative contexts. He investigates ways to collect and analyze passive data from personal sensors to model and predict information-seeking behaviors. He directs the InfoSeeking Lab at Rutgers where he investigates issues related to information seeking, interactive information retrieval and social media, supported by grants from National Science Foundation (NSF), Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), Google and Yahoo!

N2 - With the growth in sensing devices, data logging capabilities and multi-sensory presentation interfaces, it has been argued that the future of documents is “multisensory, pervasive, and immersive,” and building an agenda around these themes is critical for future information science research. Hence, in this panel, we bring together an international group of researchers actively engaged in research at the intersection of sensors and information science. The panel will discuss the new research opportunities and challenges afforded by the use of different kinds of sensors (e.g., fitness trackers, phones, cameras, fMRIs) for information science research. The panel aims to raise awareness and catalyze a strong research activity on sensor-enriched information science, which is expected to have multiple implications for human information behavior, health informatics, neuro-information science, data science, social informatics and computational social science.
