Professor Ramaprasad’s research examines interactions on online platforms and their impact from multiple perspectives. Specifically, she studies the impact of platform features and social influence – measured by social media activity, social buzz, and social network characteristics – on user participation, interaction, consumption, and payment in online music and online dating platforms. This research has largely been enabled through research partnership with these companies, allowing her to work hand-in-hand with key leaders.

She and her co-authors were nominated for the best conference paper award at the flagship conference in IS, the International Conference on Information Systems, and won the best conference paper award at the Conference on Information Systems and Technology at INFORMS in October 2009.
