Biography

Over 20 years of experience in technical, project management, and leadership positions within higher education IT.

Currently manages University of Chicago's Information Assurance group, a governance, risk, and compliance function of Information Technology.

Proficient in AWS, GCP, and Azure environments. Experienced in managing cloud enablement, including operations, governance, security, and research outreach.

Oversaw and consulted on over 20 innovative proof-of-concept projects, guiding them to successful completion, three of which went on to become significant, clinically-validated studies.

Routinely engaged with individual faculty and faculty governance bodies, as well as with individual IT professionals and IT leadership, on issues ranging from application development, to rapid prototyping, IT risk, and cloud adoption.

Previously, as an User Experience Consultant for University of Chicago's IT Services (http://itservices.uchicago.edu), Cornelia Bailey helped navigate projects in which the outcome is not always well known. This required her to observe how students, faculty and staff behave and to discern what they want. This work takes many forms. Since the mobile experience at and beyond the university has worked well as a focal point of innovation, much of Cornelia's work focused on mobile concerns. Her efforts include leading a technical steering group focused on mobile best practices, running regular user experience testing groups for IT projects, managing two mobile app challenges (http://appchallenge.uchicago.edu) and coordinating multiple groups as the University publishes mobile applications. Cornelia's efforts have also invigorated unique collaborative engagements with the Smart Museum, the Logan Center, and UChicago Medicine. Cornelia is a former programmer and a graduate of IIT's Institute of Design with an emphasis on healthcare design. In addition to presenting on mobile topics around the university, Cornelia has presented at the Innovation Learning Network (http://www.innovationlearningnetwork.org/), the Center for Innovation at the Mayo Clinic (http://www.mayo.edu/center-for-innovation), the Industrial Designers Society of America annual conference and at several HighEdWeb conferences on the topics of security and calendaring.
