Research topic/area: Technology strategy and management; industrial economics; economic sociology; network analysis in the energy, automobile, electronics industries. Doctoral candidate in Technology, Management & Policy. Thesis seeks to understand how the nature of technologies may impact industry architectures and dynamics, by examining the technical details inside the "black box" of a product, or a type of technology.

Research topic/area: I focus on the application of Multi-Attribute Tradespace Exploration (MATE) to public transportation design problems. MATE is a state-of-the-art decision and design method developed at MIT using aerospace examples. Through application in the transportation domain, I am able to identify domain commonalities and differences between space and transportation systems, which are important for the development of domain-independent principles and methods to apply across engineering systems. In my current research toward a Master's degree in Political Science, I am interested in systematically identifying reasons for why people may choose not to implement technically promising solutions, an issue that emerged from case applications in my previous research. One of the projects that I am working on focuses on the application of MATE to high-speed rail in Portugal.

Research topic/area: As the world turns increasingly towards knowledge economies, the intersection between innovation, higher education, and research policies continues to gain importance. In particular for ‘catching-up countries’ — i.e. those which aim at closing existing gaps in education and technology — targeted innovation strategies involving academia, industry and government become an economic imperative. These and other factors forces universities to depart from their traditional missions and adopt new models of education, research, organization and stakeholdership.
