Research summary. In my research on generative AI, I study how new data, information, and content produced by AI models affect different areas of human activity, including creativity, decision-making, knowledge creation, and work. In my broader research agenda, I examine how data and information environments affect actor behaviors. I focus on environments that arise from emerging technologies with broad societal impact, including generative AI, social media, and commercial space.

I am the Co-Director of the AI+Strategy Lab with Professor Bart Vanneste at UCL. I run the AI Plus Management Doctoral Consortium, which brings together scholars from around the world to present research exchange ideas on generative AI. I am also a research affiliate of the AI Lab at MoreThanNow. I publish occasional thoughts on generative AI on my AI@Work Substack. My research on generative AI has been cited by the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, and the United Nations.

I have won awards for my research from the Academy of Management, the Strategic Management Society, and the Roundtable for Engineering Entrepreneurship Research.
