Biography
I received my Ph.D. in Entrepreneurship from the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Prior to starting my doctoral study, I worked for Microsoft Research Asia in the multimedia computing area. My current teaching and research lies in the intersection of entrepreneurship, strategy, and innovation management. More specifically, my research work addresses how the conflicts at both the macro- (institution, national boundary) and micro-level (resource, identity) influence an entrepreneur’s behavior, innovation, and new venture performance. My teaching portfolio including technological entrepreneurship will provide students with frameworks for diagnosing and dealing with the challenges and opportunities that arise in global settings.
