RESEARCH
My research interests primarily revolve around the methodology of qualitative futures research, focusing on the cognitive dimensions of foresight, and entrepreneurial cognition. I delve into the phenomenon of expertise within the context of complex, future-oriented entrepreneurial activity. My research also explores the aspects of time and temporality in entrepreneurial activity, addressing these issues from both philosophical and cognitive perspectives. Methodologically, I work on integrating futures methods with established cognitive psychology approaches to extract knowledge and cognition in participants. Additionally, I hold the status of a regular visiting scholar at the Turku School of Economics, University of Turku, Finland, and serve as a foundational member of the Observatory of Futures―an academic think tank at the EM Strasbourg Business School dedicated to research in foresight and the development of foresight practices for regional stakeholders.
TEACHING AND TRAINING
Since 2015, I have been actively involved in teaching Entrepreneurship, Foresight, Strategy, and Innovation Management at the EM Strasbourg Business School spanning both bachelor and master levels. In addition, I supervise master theses in various disciplines such as marketing, entrepreneurship, and innovation, all of which employ qualitative research methods. Beyond academia, I extend my specialty as a trainer for international professionals in the fields of entrepreneurship, foresight and strategy.
