Biography

My professional interests lie in the field of technology assessment and innovation management. I believe technology can bring significant positive changes to society but it is important to evaluate the potential consequences of new technologies before they are deployed. I am particularly interested in studying the impact of technology on society and the environment, as well as the economic and business aspects of technology. I am also interested in examining the technical feasibility and reliability of new technologies, the legal and regulatory implications of technology, and ethical considerations surrounding technology.
