My passion is to apply data science to business problems. My research therefore centers around applying new methods from statistics and computer science to the domain of (digital) entrepreneurship and (digital) innovation management. Currently, I am focusing on applying machine learning and natural language processing in these domains. I am particularly focusing on transformer-based models. Furthermore, I am also conducting research in the domain of how to handle the endogeneity issue in business research.
