Research interests

 My research focuses on how the physical work environment impacts innovation. In particular, I am interested in investigating  the influence of remote working on innovation. Living in different countries has given me the privilege to engage with different cultures, making cultural studies  one of my main research interests. Working in higher education  has made me interested in exploring how it can affect innovation, too.
