Biography
I am a researcher with eighteen years of academic and industry experience and a proven track record in successfully conducting and delivering scientifically and industry-relevant research and teaching. My knowledge reflects diverse but balanced mixture of mechanical engineering and manufacturing, technology and innovation, operations and business management expertise; understanding of which has heavily been influenced by the complexity science. I am competent in applying a number of research methods; from various computer simulation approaches, design of experiments and statistical analysis, to qualitative case studies, surveys, literature reviews, and scenario development. Throughout my studies and work I have been acting as a lead researcher and project manager on several industry and government sponsored research projects.
My current research explores the use of smart technology for servitization and innovation from the lens of complexity sciences.
