I am currently a doctoral candidate majoring in Information Technology at Rutgers University and will complete my degree in the spring of 2007. My field of specialization is system analysis and design and the emphasis of my Ph.D. research has been alternative systems development methodologies, specifically, agile software development methodologies and their adoption in organizations. With my advisors, Professor Kenneth E. Kendall and Professor Julie E. Kendall I have coauthored two papers and one book chapter recently (please refer to my CV for details).

During my years at Rutgers University, I have had the opportunity to work as instructor for management information systems courses for 4 semesters as well as serve as guest lecturer for various M.B.A. courses. My teaching experience was so positive and fulfilling that I have fully confirmed that teaching is my true passion and being in the classroom is my true calling.

My career goal is to become a scholar through research, teaching and service at a major university or research institution in the US.

Call for Participation

I am currently looking for software developers and managers to be the  respondents for an online survey, which collects opinions on agile software development methodologies. Please contact me at sukong@pegasus.rutgers.edu if you're interested in filling out the survey. In return, I will provide study reports to the respondent for free.

In addition, I help participating organizations gain exposure in North America by mentioning their names in my publications, if they choose. Please contact me at
