Research

Exploring the fascinating intersection of technology and society, my main research project reveals the impact of national digital initiatives on the social sustainability outcomes. I aim for a harmonious balance between technological progress and social sustainability aspects such as individual freedom, equitable opportunities, and advanced education.

Alongside, my journey also ventures into the realm of innovation and organizational strategy, where I address optimal distinctiveness dilemma in creating new products.

For these projects, I employ econometrics and computational methods to illuminate technology's nuanced role in modern society.
