Work is central to one’s identity and well-being and my research contributes to understanding the evolving world of work together with its implications for workers and organisations. I am committed to pursuing research that can contribute to more human-centric, effective and sustainable organisations.

My research is primarily centred around four domains; talent management, international/global HRM; algorithmic HRM, and the future of work.
