About Me

Hi, my name is Srikanth Parameswaran. I am an Assistant Professor in the Management Information Systems area, School of Management, Binghamton University (BU). I received my Ph.D. in Management Science and Systems from the University at Buffalo (UB), State University of New York (SUNY) in 2018. _K8A0823Before starting my Ph.D. in Spring 2012, I did an internship at Mercy Hospital of Buffalo, Catholic Health System, working on improving their computer-mediated employee internal communications, and improving their online presence, through social media. I received MS in Management Information Systems from the University at Buffalo, in 2011, and Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Anna University, in 2010. My expected Ph.D. graduation date is Summer 2017. I will be on the job market in Fall 2016. I am looking for a tenure-track position at a research-intensive organization. My Ph.D. thesis advisor is Dr. Rajiv Kishore.

My research focuses on IT innovation, gamification in healthcare, social media, user-generated content, social networks, electronic word of mouth, and knowledge management. I focus on modeling adoption of technology innovations, user behavior in social media, technology-mediated health outcomes, and knowledge creation in the IS context. Some of the key contexts of my interest are online health communities, mobile technologies, cloud computing, and gaming. I use a variety of methodologies such as structural equation modeling, meta-analysis, econometrics, social network analysis, text mining, event study, discourse analysis and experimental design.

One of my papers got published in the Journal of American Medical Informatics Association (JAMIA), a leading health informatics journal (Impact factor: 4.292). Two of my research papers have appeared in Information and Management, a top-tier journal (Impact factor of 4.120).
