His research informs corporate strategic decision-making, entrepreneurship and public policy. His work is distinctly interdisciplinary, using theories and methods from strategy, management, innovation studies, economics, sociology, network science and geography. Most of his research is quantitative and computationally intensive, using econometrics, network analysis, data mining and machine learning tools to answer research questions.
