I am an Assistant Professor (Lecturer) in Innovation at the Alliance Manchester Business School. I received my PhD in Industrial Economics from the Nottingham University Business School. Before joining Alliance Manchester, I was a faculty member at De Montfort University and the University of Nottingham. Prior to my academic career, I held managerial positions in financial and governmental organisations in Russia.

My research examines the scope and performance implications of innovation and technology management in organisations, with a specific focus on technological radicalness, new product development, voluntary standardisation, (de-)servitization, and academic engagement. In addition, I am also interested in studying workforce diversity and the effects it has on organisational outcomes. My papers have been published in leading academic journals, such as Research Policy, the Journal of Product Innovation Management, the British Journal of Management, and the Journal of Business Research.

I am a former Chevening Scholar. My research received awards from the British Academy of Management and the Product Development and Management Association. I have also been acting as a reviewer for such journals as Research Policy, the Journal of Product Innovation Management, and the British Journal of Management.

As a researcher in the fields of innovation economics, technology management, and strategic management, I am open to mentoring doctoral students who are interested in these areas. If you are considering a doctoral degree and would like to discuss your research proposal and interests, please feel free to contact me via email.

During our conversation, we can discuss your research proposal and how it aligns with my current research and expertise. I am willing to offer guidance and support throughout the doctoral research process, from proposal development to data analysis and dissemination of findings.

A mentored approach to doctoral research can bring valuable insights in these fields. I am looking forward to hearing from prospective students and working together on this exciting journey.
