Manuel Hoffmann

Welcome!


I am a postdoctoral scholar at the Laboratory for Innovation Science at Harvard which is housed within the Digital, Data, and Design institute at Harvard Business School. I am also affiliated with the Stanford Center for Population Health Sciences.

In my research, I focus on a technological, social, and medical innovation in an open and closed environment. In my most recent work, I am particularly homing into the future of work and firm strategies around open innovation in the digital space, informing managers decisions around company campaigns and behavioral biases, as well as work implications due to artificial intelligence.
