My research journey began at the confluence of digital technology, its evolutionary trajectory, and the intricate dynamics of social behaviours within both business and broader societal contexts. My contributions in this domain have been recognized in esteemed research outlets, such as the JASIST, IJIM, AMCIS, HICSS and IFIP WG8.6. During my PhD journey, I have focused on the transformative influence of information systems on contemporary societal issues, with a particular emphasis on their role in crisis management. My work underscores the potential of digital tools and strategies to effectively manage crises at both organizational and public levels to ensure sustainable economies and societies.You may enjoy reading more about it:
