Manuel Hoffmann
I am a postdoctoral scholar at the Laboratory for Innovation Science at Harvard housed within the Digital, Data, and Design institute at Harvard Business School. I am also affiliated with Stanford University.
My research interests lie in social and behavioral aspects around open source software and artificial intelligence, under the broader theme of innovation and technology management, with the aim of better understanding strategic aspects for large, medium-sized, and entrepreneurial firms.
