I am an Assistant Professor at the Chair of Organisation, Technology Management, and Entrepreneurship at University of Passau. My research interests center around the fields of innovation management and entrepreneurship research, in particular,  entrepreneurial finance. Previously, I worked amongst others on research projects studying the role of intellectual property in corporate finance, the effects of policy in shaping firm-level innovation, and implications of technological change on entrepreneurial activities. Moreover, I am an  Affiliated Researcher both at Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition in Munich and Politecnico di Milano, School of Management. Further, I am an adjunct professor and the Academic Coordinator of the Innovation School at the Norwegian School of Economics in Bergen. I advise the European Union Intellectual Property Office in IP-backed Finance.
