Guest PhD Candidate

About Me

I am an external PhD candidate at Twente University at BMS.

My research is concerned with knowledge sharing and dissemination in Helix collaborations. I research how the absorption of critical new knowledge in SMEs can be influenced. SMEs benefit little from external knowledge acquisition. The transfer of knowledge and the conversion of different knowledge modes is time consuming and expensive for most SMEs. 

This research contributes to the development of differentiated knowledge management tools and practices to identify constraints and capture and codify knowledge in order to increase knowledge integration.

I am interested in knowledge management models and knowledge boundaries, design research, co-creation and boundary spanning processes and open innovation.

Current project

In this project, a skills matching approachwill developed by TNO  and participating project parthers. in a small-scale This way, the project aims to offer a solution to the personnel shortages in the logistics sector and the (imminent) unemployment in the hospitality industry as a result of the corona crisis. In addition, the project contributes to the desired job transitions between shrinking and growing sectors, and we respond to developments in the labor market in which no longer diplomas, but the knowledge, abilities and characteristics (skills) of candidates are central.

Main interest of participation is to research a) contribute to the research in terms of scientific deliverables for the project b) participate in terms of knowledge creation in innovation spaces c) the research capabilities and capacities of RUAS in this project (d) research possible boundary objects of participants.
