Research

I study societal challenges at the intersection of institutions, digital technologies, and social evaluations. My current projects focus on digital transformation and AI-enabled platform strategies, governance mechanisms that shape an organization's socially and environmentally responsible behavior, as well as crisis management in the context of technological change, healthcare, and wrongdoing. My research has been recognized by the W. P. Carey School of Business Dean’s Early-Career Research Award in 2025.

 

I serve as a Deputy Editor at Management and Organization Review and sit on the editorial boards of Administrative Science Quarterly and Organization Studies. I'm also an affiliated faculty member with the Center for AI and Data Analytics (AIDA) for Business and Society.

My doctoral thesis explores the cultural processes of stigmatization and destigmatization, through empirical projects on the decline of the medical profession and the rise of private entrepreneurship during China's market transition. I believe it is timely and important to study stigma, inequality, trust, and social justice in today's society. The dissertation has won the Grigor McClelland Award in 2022, which recognizes doctoral research that is "expansive and imaginative in that it covers significantly new terrain or counters existing thinking within management and organisational research."​
