Research Interest
His lab examines organisational, entrepreneurial and managerial behaviour by combining traditional methods with state-of-the-art experimental, game-theoretic and neurobiological methods.
Specific questions relate to:
(i) dynamics of trust
(ii) the impact of the built environment (including office design) on performance and well-being
(iii) detecting mental fatigue using biosensors
He holds expertise in a wide range of methods, including computerised testing, computational modelling, fMRI, psychophysiology, whereas he has been developing new methods including wearable devices and Virtual Reality.
