Research Areas
Skin tone disparities, leadership decision making, societal disruptions, algorithmic bias in HR technology
My research examines how macro-level forces—such as historical legacies, social hierarchies, and emerging technologies—shape micro-level behaviors and experiences in the workplace, bridging the gap between the structural context and individual outcomes. One stream of my work focuses on demographic change and social closure. The second stream focuses on AI, bias, and the future of work, examining how artificial intelligence, now embedded in the core infrastructure of organizations, reshapes the employee life cycle, from hiring to monitoring, and how these systems can unintentionally reproduce or amplify bias.
