Faculty research spotlight | |
|
Madhav Sharma, assistant professor of management,
College of Business Administration
Research overview:
Organizations seek to increase human–robot collaboration to accomplish work. In doing so, they face the challenge of integrating humans and robots into one cohesive workforce. For the human-robot collaboration to be successful, it is imperative for employees to adopt and trust this technology. Prior research has studied some aspects of how agentic AI-enabled team members can be successfully integrated into the workforce. In my current research, I use relational demography theory and status characteristics theory to investigate what design aspects of AI-enabled robots, or AIERs, are the most acceptable to healthcare workers.
| |
|
What motivated you to pursue research in this specific field, and how has your focus evolved over time?
Healthcare is one area where due to poor funding, restrictive regulations and lack of task technology fit, AI-enabled robots have not reached ubiquity in everyday clinics and hospitals, especially in the frontlines. U.S. healthcare frontline workers can benefit from large scale deployment of robots.
What is your approach to this research?
I am using a mixed method approach (Qual-Quant) with qualitative interviews of experienced healthcare professionals. Using input from these interviews, I will design vignette-based surveys to test the efficacy of design aspect of AIERs.
Have there been any significant challenges or breakthroughs in your recent research, and how have you addressed or leveraged them?
This project is in the data collection stage. Seeking participants for the study and communicating capabilities of robots can be challenging, however, the emerging results look promising. I have presented initial results at KIN Summer School, Amsterdam and received encouraging feedback.
What is the potential impact of your research on your field and on broader societal issues?
This study will inform hardware and software design of AIER in healthcare systems. Ultimately, we hope this study contributes to our overarching goal of introducing an organizational structure for the efficient use of robots in healthcare environments.
Each week The Office of the Vice President for Research will feature one faculty member and their scholarly work in Research Weekly. If you would like to nominate yourself or a colleague, please fill out the online form.
*Please note that not all nominations will be accepted as there are limited weeks each semester.

Jefferson Science Fellowship Program now accepting applications | |
|
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is pleased to announce a call for applications for the 2025 Jefferson Science Fellowships (JSF). Established by the Secretary of State in 2003, these fellowships serve as an innovative model for engaging the American science, engineering, and medical communities in the U.S. foreign policy and international development process through a one-year immersive experience at the U.S. Department of State or the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). Jefferson Science Fellowships are a mutually beneficial partnership between government and participating U.S. academic institutions. These fellowships are open to tenured, or similarly ranked, faculty from U.S. institutions of higher learning who are U.S. citizens. After successfully obtaining a security clearance, Fellows are embedded in an office at the U.S. Department of State or USAID where they can expect to learn the foreign policy and international development process while contributing their technical expertise to policy formulation and implementation. Note that a JSF Fellowship does not require faculty to “use up” a sabbatical leave. The year spent in Washington counts as one of the seven years needed to earn a sabbatical.
Online applications will be accepted from August 1 through October 15, 2024.
