Research summary
AI-generated

Winona Snapp-Childs conducts research spanning two areas: the evaluation of large-scale research computing infrastructure (cyberinfrastructure), including methods for measuring its economic value and return on investment, and human movement science, such as how people coordinate their hands and learn motor skills. Recent work focuses heavily on assessing the value and impact of advanced computing systems and the workforce skills tied to them.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
