Dr. Mamykina’s broad research interests include an individual’s sensemaking and problem-solving in context of health management, collective sensemaking within online health support communities, clinical reasoning and decision-making, communication and coordination of work in clinical teams, and ways to support these practices with informatics interventions. She also focuses on analysis of health information technologies and how they are used among critical care teams, as well as social computing platforms for facilitating knowledge sharing within clinical communities, and within online health support groups. 

Dr. Mamykina was nominated twice for best paper at the ACM SIGCHI conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems and won the IBM Research Division Award for Outstanding Contribution as a Summer Student. She has served as a program committee member for the CHI and AMIA conferences.

“This year we welcome a large and diverse cohort of highly acclaimed ACMI Fellows to the College,” said ACMI President Kevin B. Johnson, MD, MS, FACMI, FAMIA, FIAHSI, David L.
