  2. Examining how AI is transforming business practice and education, and
  3. Investigating how executive and board characteristics influence firm outcomes.

His work appears in Strategic Management Journal and Journal of Applied Psychology, and has been covered by Fast Company, The Atlantic, and The Boston Globe.
