My research revolves around two themes: Digital Strategy, and Data Science and Analytics.

​In “Digital Strategy,” I explore the transformative impact of emerging technologies in traditional sectors, highlighting the integration of automation into business processes. This reflects a broader shift towards digital transformation across conventional industries. Additionally, my recent work focuses on promoting ethical practices in AI usage within business environments, emphasizing the need for responsible technology deployment to ensure fair and equitable outcomes. This narrative underscores the critical role of digital ethics in shaping the future of industry practices.

My research in Data Science and Analytics primarily focuses on the practical applications and challenges of integrating these technologies into various sectors. For example, my work explores the deployment of data analytics in small to medium-sized enterprises, highlighting enablers and inhibitors that affect business performance and value. Other work investigate the effects of data analytics competencies on community engagement and sustainability awareness, as well as the strategic use of machine learning to enhance decision-making in financial platforms. Collectively, these studies provide valuable insights into how data science can be effectively utilized to optimize business processes, improve educational outcomes, and drive technological adoption, showing a critical intersection between analytical techniques and practical business applications.

Currently, I am engaged in a wide array of research topics centered on digital technologies. My investigations include the practical application of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives through technological frameworks and the broader impacts of digital transformation in various business sectors. I explored the multifaceted relationships between trust, ethics, and cultural dimensions in cryptocurrency usage. My work also encompasses advanced predictive modeling with machine learning, integration of blockchain technology in supply chains, and collaborative dynamics between humans and algorithms in decision-making processes. Additionally, I examine the evolving landscape of online lending and strategic digital advancements on online platforms. These projects vary in progress, with some being under review and others in preparation for journal submission.
