Inspired by the Garbage Can Model of Organizational Choice, the Garbage Can Lab is the research group under Professor Jungpil Hahn at NUS School of Computing. Our group's research focuses on a better understanding of today's complex socio-technical world and developing solutions that create impact. We can best be described as organized anarchy with problematic preferences, unclear technology, and fluid participation.

Professor Hahn’s research focuses on open innovation, organizational learning and knowledge management, software development processes, software project management and human-computer interaction. His research has been published in Management Science, Information Systems Research, Organization Science, Journal of Management Information Systems, and many other influential research outlets.
