Research areas

I study the people side of innovation and entrepreneurship. How people come together and work together when developing new technology or new ventures. I care about how team dynamics shape decision-making in startup teams; how social norms shape interactions in the startup world, and how firms come together in alliances and ecosystems to develop new, or more sustainable, technology. 

Most of my research is based on longitudinal data, collected in the context of new venture teams or inter-organizational R&D alliances. 

My work has been published in journals such as the Academy of Management Journal, Organization Studies, Research Policy, Journal of Business Venturing, Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, and Journal of Product Innovation Management.
