Assistant Professor of Innovation Studies & Economic Geography @ The University of Hong Kong.

I study innovation, collaboration, tech & geography

Previously at UCLA & Kellogg School of Management
Much of the research in economics and economic geography treats cities as “black boxes.”

We show that where #innovation happens within cities matters a great deal. Neighborhood #tech #clusters shape citywide innovation paths!
