Biography

I am driven by an intense curiosity about how innovation processes work. Further, I strongly believe that science has a task to share its knowledge with society. I am primarily interested in behavioral aspects related to innovation and how policies can be used to influence this behavior. My research focusses on two main areas: Behavior of firms and entrepreneurs in start-up ecosystems and innovation systems University-industry interaction I study these three topics mostly in the context of sustainable or responsible innovations. Examples, are wind energy, biomass technology, carbon capture and storage, electric vehicles, or responsible innovation in the packaged food industry. A third research line that I also contribute to, due to high demand from societal organizations, is the acceptance of innovations by citizens or consumers. I use the theoretical and methodological insights from this line, to strengthen the other two lines.
