Huang, Xuemei (Shirley)

Assistant Professor/Information Systems

FACULTY

Biography

Dr. Xuemei Huang is an Assistant Professor of Business Information Systems at Central Michigan University. Her research examines the ethical and social challenges of digitalization, with a particular focus on human dignity, marginalization, psychological well-being, and information security. She investigates these issues in the contexts of algorithmic management on gig platforms, artificial intelligence applications such as AI-generated reviews, and digital public service systems. Her research has been published in international journals, including Industrial Management & Data Systems, the International Journal of Human–Computer Interaction, and the Journal of Decision Systems. She has also presented and published her research at leading international information systems conferences, including the International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS), the Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS), and the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS). In her free time, she enjoys gardening, photography, and birdwatching.
