Yuan Gao

Yuan Gao serves as Associate Professor of Information Technology Management at Ramapo College of New Jersey's Anisfield School of Business, where he has taught since 2000. His academic work bridges technology design and user behavior with emphasis on educational and commercial digital systems.

Dr. Gao earned his B.L. from Fudan University (Shanghai), M.A. from Brooklyn College (C.U.N.Y.), and Ph.D. from Baruch College (C.U.N.Y.).

His research specialization includes:

• Human-Computer Interaction principles
• Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) applications
• User Interface Design methodologies
• E-Commerce behavioral dynamics

Publication trends reveal consistent investigation of technology adoption barriers across domains: e-commerce (trust modeling, interactivity effects), e-government (cognitive factors), and educational technology (Moodle, clickers). His work critically examines the misalignment between industry demand for IS professionals and declining student enrollment, while advancing TAM through cross-cultural studies.
