Katz offers a breadth of research topics–many students can find a home here. Recent PhD dissertation topics have included e-commerce, online communities, project management, IS security and trust, knowledge management, user participation, digital-goods economics, and software measurement. Of course, your thesis topic is limited only by your imagination and drive.
The Information Systems and Technology Management at the University of Pittsburgh investigates behavioral, design, and economic issues related to the use and impact of information technology.
Examples of focal research themes are analytics, behavioral security, consumer and firm behavior in the digital age, digital platform strategy, health care systems, human factors in information systems design, IT governance, and software product development and services delivery.
