Research Interests

My research centres around multi-level issues among individuals, organisational structures, and society. I have studied, for instance, how (I) employees communicate across their team and organisational boundaries, how (II) organisations manage demographic diversity between and within departments, and how (III) managers interact with AI to perform people-related tasks. Specifically, I am interested in the interplay between collective and individual agency and how organisations can help connect (previously disconnected) individuals across different backgrounds, perspectives, locations, and identities.
