Primary research areas

In­nov­a­tion Strategy
I ex­plore how firms design in­nov­a­tion strategies and nav­ig­ate or­gan­iz­a­tion­al search pro­cesses—es­pe­cially after set­backs—to identi­fy break­through dis­cov­er­ies
Man­aging Sci­ence and Sci­entif­ic Dis­cov­er­ies
I study how firms man­age sci­entif­ic re­search and dis­cov­ery pro­cesses, with a par­tic­u­lar fo­cus on the phar­ma­ceut­ic­al in­dustry.
So­cial Dy­nam­ics and Status
I study the in­flu­ence of so­cial dy­nam­ics, polit­ics, and status on pro­ductiv­ity, re­source pro­vi­sion, and in­nov­a­tion out­comes.

Search­ing for in­ter­est­ing an­swers to rel­ev­ant ques­tions

I study how organizations search, decide, and discover at the intersection of innovation, organizational search, cognition, and social dynamics—especially politics and status hierarchies. My goal is to explain why some ideas become breakthroughs while others stall, and how firms can design discovery processes that translate scientific knowledge—often in pharmaceuticals—into innovations that improve lives.
