I am interested in understanding the factors that shape technological change, with a particular focus on transitioning to environmentally sustainable and energy-saving technologies. Specific areas of interest include:

• Technological Change: Understand how individual, firm, and national level factors affect the nature, pace, and extent of technological change, with an emphasis on clean energy transitions.
• Design for Market Systems: Measure and predict consumer choice and firm behavior in the marketplace to assess product design for competitiveness or policy analysis.
• Technology & Innovation: Understand relationships between technology, innovation, policy, and the competitiveness of firms and nations.
• Electric Vehicles & Sustainable Transportation: Assess how consumer preferences, economics, and policy affect the development and adoption of electric vehicles and sustainable transit solutions.
• China: Examine the above topics in the context of one of the world’s largest developing nations.
