My research lies at the intersection of science, knowledge, and technology studies and organizational studies. Thus far, my work addresses two interrelated questions:
Innovation in crisis: How do scientists, entrepreneurs, regulators, and policymakers navigate trade-offs between technological upgrading, market entry, and public benefit in moments of crisis?
Life courses and social change: How do individual-level career and life-course dynamics both shape and reflect meso-organizational and macro-historical transformations?
Methodologically, I draw on event history analysis, comparative-historical analysis, ethnography, and computational text analysis, working across English, Mandarin Chinese, and Russian sources.
