Ho's research centers on information technology's economic impacts through three interconnected pillars: sharing economy mechanisms (particularly crowdfunding and peer-to-peer lending), user-generated content dynamics, and digital commerce innovation (mobile/electronic platforms). His work employs rigorous behavioral and economic modeling to examine contemporary phenomena in online marketplaces, with emphasis on investor behavior, platform design, and pricing strategies. This research program has yielded significant contributions to understanding how digital platforms reshape traditional economic interactions.
Analysis of his publication trajectory (2017-2025) reveals consistent focus on crowdfunding ecosystems and user behavior analytics. Key thematic threads include herding dynamics in investment decisions, anonymity effects in online platforms, and economic modeling of e-commerce features like free shipping programs. His most recent work extends into mobile geofencing analytics and relational resonance in content creation, demonstrating evolving methodological sophistication while maintaining core focus on digital marketplace economics.
Ho's exceptional recognition includes:
- Sandy Slaughter Early Career Award (INFORMS Information Systems Society, 2021)
- GWSB Dean's Award 'grand slam' (Research, Teaching, and Emerging Scholar awards)
- Multiple best paper awards at WISE, CIST, and CSWIM conferences
- Outstanding Associate Editor honors for Information Systems Research
As an educator, Ho teaches Python programming and database applications while maintaining exceptional pedagogical standards recognized by GWSB's Teaching Excellence Award (2023) and university-wide Bender Award nomination. His editorial leadership as Associate Editor for Information Systems Research (2022-present) demonstrates significant service to the academic community. While specific current research grants aren't detailed, his early-career National Doctorate Research Grant from Taiwan's Ministry of Education (2012-14) supported foundational work in this domain.
