I study how scientific and technological knowledge is produced and diffused. In recent work, I have examined how funding, international mobility, and research infrastructure shape scientists&rsquo; productivity and careers; how firms engage with and learn from science, from participation in scientific conferences to the disclosure of their own research; and how scientific advances drove the evolution of artificial intelligence — and the value of the companies built on it.</p>
