I am an Assistant Professor at Walton College of Business, University of Arkansas and a Digital Fellow at MIT Sloan & MIT CSAIL. I completed my PhD in Strategy from Ivey Business School, Canada, and have an engineering degree in Computer Science majoring in AI. 

I broadly study Innovation, Technology Strategy & Artificial Intelligence. My overarching research question: How do firms & startups develop and deploy emerging technologies (e.g., AI, Quantum Computing) in a socially beneficial manner (e.g., responsible AI) and maintain competitive advantage? In particular, how do firms balance the trade-off between knowledge spillover and external resource acquisition (e.g., human capital, capital)?

Drawing on strategic management & economics of science literature, and using Big Data, Machine learning, and interviews, I build testable models of the world that can help managers and policymakers to make better decisions.
