I am a Senior Lecturer in Innovation and Enterprise at London South Bank University, School of Business. I hold a PhD in Business Administration from Pablo de Olavide University, Spain. Prior to joining LSBU, I was a visiting professor at Sharif University of Technology, Iran, and a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Montpellier, France. I have also taught undergraduate, MBA, and executive education modules at various institutions around the globe including New Jersey Institute of Technology (USA), Carlos III University of Madrid (Spain), EUNCET Business School (Spain), and NEOMA Business School (France).
My main research interest is in the strategic management of technology and innovation, particularly in the biopharma industry and healthcare sector. I am interested in studying R&D alliances in the biopharma industry and I'm also passionate about digital healthcare platforms. As a secondary research interest, I have also co-authored papers on gender bias in financing social ventures.
My work has been presented at major international conferences including the Academy of Management (AOM), Strategic Management Society (SMS), European Academy of Management (EURAM), DRUID, R&D Management, and the Eastern Academy of Management (EAM). In 2020, I was chosen as one of the three finalists for the "Best Emerging Scholar Paper Award" by the scientific committee of the World Open Innovation Conference (WOIC), organized by UC Berkeley.
I have reviewed papers for journals such as R&D Management and the South Asian Journal of Business Studies, and I also sit on the Editorial Review Board of the latter since 2023. I was also on the Editorial Board of the World Open Innovation Conference 2022.
