Primary research areas

Di­git­al in­nov­a­tion
I study how the de­vel­op­ment of di­git­al in­nov­a­tions in­flu­ences and is in­flu­enced by in­di­vidu­als, or­gan­iz­a­tions and so­ci­ety.
So­cial eval­u­ation the­or­ies
I study how neg­at­ive so­cial eval­u­ations, like stigma, can be triggered or man­aged by (cat­egor­ies of) in­di­vidu­als and or­gan­iz­a­tions.
Vir­tu­al dirty work
I study the lived ex­per­i­ences of data work­ers train­ing AI agents, un­cov­er­ing the emo­tion­al and iden­tity dy­nam­ics in­volved in this pro­cess.

I shed light on the hid­den con­sequences of di­git­al in­nov­a­tion.

My research aims at showing:

- the societal conflicts arising from the use of digital technologies;

- how individuals and organizations’ value and strategic decisions shape, cope with or contrast digital innovation;

- how digital innovation influences individuals and organizations’ identity, emotions and social acceptance.
