Emerging Technology for Sustainability and Health
As a Marie Curie Fellow in emerging technology, I worked at Grenoble School of Management (France) and the European Commission in Brussels (Belgium).
My work was aimed at spotting emerging technology trends, spurring entrepreneurship and investing in emerging technologies tackling humanity's most complex issues. My focus was particularly on the EU multi-billion Euro research & innovation fund Horizon 2020. In terms of verticals, I focused on deep tech, and especially climate tech, biotech, and what back then we called eco-industry.
As part of such work, I collaborated with a number of partner organizations that were very active in terms of researching, developing, and bringing emerging technologies to the global markets. Among them were companies such as Intel, Siemens, as well as top European universities such as IE Business School and Erasmus University of Rotterdam, and research organizations such as Fraunhofer Institute and CERN.
Together with colleagues from Grenoble School of Management, Bocconi, and CERN, I also conducted research at the intersection of management, sociology, science and innovation policy, and philosophy of science and technology, which was disseminated through various conference proceedings and a publication with Edward Elgar Publishing as part of a book on the management of emerging technologies for socio-economic impact put together by colleagues from around Europe.
As my work evolved, leveraging information and network science, natural language processing, and computational techniques, I inspired and helped CERN to build Collaboration Spotting, a data analytics platform that helps science labs and companies identify new research pathways and collaborators to accelerate interdisciplinary research and technology transfer to society. This platform has been utilized across various fields, and CERN has recognized Collaboration Spotting as one of its success stories.
