Personal profile

Research interests

I am interested in studying how research is carried out and disseminated.

  • So far, I have looked at systems to improve the quality of published evidence, with a focus on clinical research (for example, here and here).
  • I have also examined how academics collaborate with industry and their attitudes towards delivering socio-economic impact (see here and here).
  • I am currently interested in ways to make science more accessible, for example, by translating scientific papers from English to other languages (see here).

I have collaborated with Cochrane, Innovate UK, and the West of England Academic Health Science Network (now the Health Innovation Network). 

I serve on the Editorial Review Board of Research Policy and Industry and Innovation. 

Before joining academia, I worked in industry for seven years, acquiring professional knowledge in business analytics, market research and consulting.

I hold a PhD in Innovation and Entrepreneurship from Imperial College Business School and an MSc in Industrial Management Engineering (cum laude) from the University of Padova.

 

Teaching interests

I have taught at the postgraduate level across different MScs, such as the Innovation & Technology Management MSc, Entrepreneurship & Management MSc (in person and online offer), and Engineering Business Management MSc. 

I have also co-designed the Introduction to Innovation in Healthcare MOOC, a FREE four-week course from the University of Bath and the West of England AHSN.

Other responsibilities

I am the Director of Studies for the Innovation and Technology Management MSc

Willing to supervise doctoral students

I welcome enquiries from potential PhD students.
