Research Interests

As a researcher, I want to better understand how innovation really works, as I have been working with technology and innovation for many years, now I want to bridge the gap between practice and theory. A second area of interest is how companies decide which businesses and technologies to track, which signs of disruption to monitor, and whether to develop a business alliance or create an R&D sector.

Prior Education

Specialization on Leadership and Innovation, Fundação Getulio Vargas, June 2021

Personal Information

Developing technology-based businesses is something that fascinates me, I've been an entrepreneur since high school. Over these years, I've had the opportunity to work with different sectors, from international trade to Data Science. Entrepreneurship allows you to change the world, and for me this freedom is a fundamental part of our society.

Why RPI?

The wide range of areas that the Lally School covers is very useful for students like me who want a complete picture of the research problem. Connecting with other departments also allows me to discover new relationships between strategy, technology, and innovation. RPI's data science focus is very important because it allows for a much more meaningful way of doing research. The RPI brings together everything needed for the type of research I want to do.
