I am an associate professor in management at the Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction at University College London. My research interests include social networks, organizational design, strategy, and organisational behaviour.
Before joining UCL, I was a research associate at Imperial Business Analytics, part of the Imperial Data Science Institute and Imperial College Business School.
I received a PhD in Sociology from the Université Paris Nanterre in 2010.
I study the interplay betwween the formal and informal structures of organizations, and how these structures affect individual and organizational outcomes. My current focus includes the impact of hybrid working on collaboration and knowledge sharing, the role of network structures in innovation, and the dynamics of organizational change, and the mapping of organizational knowledge.
I currently lead the project From Hybrid Work to Hybrid Workforces: Rethinking Organisational Design for an AI-Augmented Future funded by UCL Grand Challenge in Data Empowered Society. The project investigates how hybrid working is influencing the adoption of AI-powered tools, and ultimately reshaping organisations. Through interviews, organisational digital twins, and simulated AI teams, we study how these changes affect not just efficiency but also learning, mentoring, career development, and the social fabric of organisations. Our goal is to help organisations adopt AI while preserving the human connections that underpin long-term resilience and innovation.
I also have an interest in the use of data analytics and computational methods to study organizations, including the analysis of large-scale social networks, text mining, and machine learning techniques.
I teach courses on organizational design, data analytics, and social network analysis.
