Ph. D.

“I grew up playing competitive sports at multiple levels, and the same questions kept popping up in my mind: Why is it that we often do better as a team when our star players aren’t there? How can we explain fluctuations in performance? How does a coach’s leadership style impact team dynamics? I eventually turned this passion into an academic career focusing on team performance and efficiency. My research to date has looked at different types of teams in a wide range of organizational contexts.”
