I am an assistant professor in the Management & Organization area at Johns Hopkins University, Carey Business School. In my research, I investigate the relations between business, technology, and society. I focus on the governance of platform ecosystems and the effects of modern technologies on business and society. For example, I have studied how rural entrepreneurs navigate algorithmic change and how platform governance affects migrant domestic workers. My research has been published in academic journals such as Management Science, Organization Science, Research Policy, and Strategic Management Journal, and it has been disseminated by leading media outlets such as FT, Forbes, and Channel News Asia. I currently serve on the editorial boards at Organization Science and Strategic Management Journal. Before joining Hopkins, I was an assistant professor at INSEAD. I received my Ph.D. at Stanford University, where my research was supported by the Stanford Technology Ventures Program, Stanford SEED, Accel Partners, Strategic Management Society, and Alibaba Group. Before my doctoral studies, I was a tech entrepreneur and received dual degrees in Environmental Engineering and Management from MIT. I engage in teaching, speaking, and advising at a broad range of companies, startups, non-profit organizations, and public entities.
