My research is focused on Science, technology and innovation (STI) policy, which constitutes a part of overarching the “Isomorphic-difference” research project. This project takes a cross-national comparative approach to exploring how national systems of innovation in China, Denmark and the US are shaped, translated, and delivered differently while still forging similar links to the global system of innovation governance. I am particularly interested in how three paradigms—curiosity-driven, mission-driven and market-driven—combine forces to collectively shape the final look of the innovation policy in China.

Moreover, I seek to explore key properties of market-driven paradigms aimed at strengthening knowledge-based economy both in the US and China and to see how the key properties of the same paradigm are differed and converged between these two countries. My analytical tool will be including text analysis, qualitative data mining, and semi-structured interviews.
