The Association for Information Systems (AIS) has awarded its fellowship to Indian American professor Monideepa Tarafdar, in recognition of her contributions to research, teaching, and service in the information systems discipline.
The recognition was presented last week at the International Conference on Information Systems in Bangkok. The AIS Fellow Award is one of the highest honors in the field, celebrating exemplary contributions that shape information systems research and education worldwide.
Tarafdar, the Charles J. Dockendorff endowed professor in Information Systems at the University of Massachusetts, has significantly influenced the study of technology's impacts, including artificial intelligence, through her extensive publications. Appointed editor-in-chief of the Journal of AIS in July 2024, she also serves as the Information Systems PhD program coordinator at UMass Amherst.
“Being an AIS fellow is a recognition of the cool topics that we, as professors of information systems, study and teach. It’s also an exciting reminder of the huge opportunity and responsibility we face as we make sense of how technologies such as AI affect every aspect of our work and personal lives,” Tarafdar said.
"I’m also happy that my students, colleagues in the information systems discipline, and collaborators from the world of practice and policy have found my work impactful,” she added.
Tarafdar holds a Ph.D. in management with a specialization in management information systems (MIS) from the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta, where she was the first female doctoral graduate in MIS. She previously taught at the University of Toledo and Lancaster University in England and held visiting positions at MIT Sloan, the London School of Economics, and Germany’s Weizenbaum Internet Institute.
