Research Profile

My research interest focuses on knowledge generation in design, especially at the interface with management, and in particular on epistemology in decision-making processes. The distinctions between 'management-led processes' and 'design-led processes' are of fundamental importance. With my research, I would like to contribute to understanding the frameworks and foundations that lead to design-led decision-making.
