RESEARCH INTERESTS
I pursue an interdisciplinary research program at the intersection of management, psychology, and biology. I integrate research from all three fields to investigate how to improve individual and team performance through an improved understanding of the performance implications of physiological processes and the interaction of the human body and mind in work settings. I draw on research in cognitive neuroscience, chronobiology, and evolutionary theory to develop models that predict individuals mental, emotional and physical performance rhythms and how work can be optimally structured in line with these rhythms. My work has been published in journals such as the Academy of Management Review, PNAS, Psychological Science, Journal of International Business Studies, Journal of Organizational Behavior, and Organizational Research Methods, . My research is also regularly covered by national and international media including TV (e.g., ABC News, SBS World News), radio (e.g., ABC RN Breakfast, 2UE Radio) and newspapers (e.g., New York Times, Independent, Wall Street Journal).
