Personal profile

Research overview

My research interest has evolved from international macroeconomics toward innovation in healthcare, with a particular emphasis on neuroscience and addiction medicine.

At the heart of my work is a commitment to ecosystem-building, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, and advancing entrepreneurial education as catalysts for transformative change. I investigate how universities and healthcare systems can become engines of health innovation and societal impact, especially through the lens of systems thinking, inclusive innovation, and policy engagement.

This work sits at the intersection of innovation, entrepreneurship, and health policy, and reflects a growing commitment to bridging silos across disciplines, sectors, and communities.
