Overview
Hi there!
In a nutshell, I am interested in the regulation of new technologies and the business models through which they are accessed by society.
My current empirical interests include:
- The deployment of Algorithms and Artificial Intelligence within various organizations and industries.
- The application of Digital Platform business models in an increasingly data-driven economy.
- The socio-technical transition to Battery Electric Vehicles and the sustainability implications for society.

Research
2022: I have been exploring digital platform business models, and how when applied to cyber-physical sectors such as automotive, then circular economies begin to resemble vertically integrated monopolies. Also expanding my technology and business model research into the defense and video game industries.
2021: I worked on various electric vehicle and blockchain project collaborations in various industries.
2018-2021: 3 year postdoc at the Cardiff Business School, where my workpackage was specifically tasked with assessing the socio-economic impact of end-of-life electric vehicles (ELEVs) in the UK.
Research Design: My theoretical outlook is inspired by several "Schumpeterian" variants of creative destruction such as Creative Accumilation, Disruptive Innovation and the Multi-Level Perspective, when assessing sociotechnical transitions. My qualitative methods of analysis usually revolve around Thematic Coding and some Process Tracing.
Biography
Currently: On the 1st of January 2021 I was appoint one of Cardiff's newest full time Lecturers in the Logistics and Operations Management section of the Business School. What an honour!
Previously: I landed my very first postdoc at the excellent Cardiff University (Business School) under Prof. Peter Wells. It was a substantial 3 year project that was inter and multi-disciplinary, involving several universities. We looked at all aspects of the Reuse and Recycling of Lithium Ion Batteries (ReLiB). For more info: https://faraday.ac.uk/recycle-reuse/
PhD: I took a very exciting deep-dive into the EU automotive industry exploring topics from autonomous vehicles, to the diesel scandal and even how Formula One motorsport enables automakers to build cleaner cars. I am very proud of the work I did at the University of York, and it is mostly due to my supervisors Prof. Neil Carter, and Dr. Samarthia Thankappan, who are really the best. I sucessfully published all 4 of my main thesis chapters in various well-regarded journals.
M.Sc.: This is where my love of research and sustainability began, while undertaking a Masters in International Trade Policy at the University of the West Indies in Barbados. Working on the (then) NAFTA environmental side-agreement was the spark that has propelled me to where I am today.
