Research

research overview

  • My research interests span the inventive value chain: creating inventions, startup growth and funding, obtaining patent protection, and monetizing patents. I am working on several projects situated in these complementary domains. In addition, I have begun to explore behavioral aspects of firms, such as how firms use language to garner attention while dealing with a crisis.
