I am a doctoral researcher examining innovation ecosystems and capability development in advanced manufacturing. My research focuses on how interactions between firms, institutions, policy settings, and regional actors shape innovation capability within complex industrial and socio‑technical systems. I adopt an applied, ecosystems‑based research perspective, drawing on complex systems thinking and qualitative analysis.
 
My research interests include innovation ecosystems, complex systems in manufacturing, advanced manufacturing systems, regional and industrial capability development, and translating research insights into practical outcomes for industry and government.
 
Before undertaking doctoral research, I worked in industry roles that informed my approach to applied research and industry engagement. This experience has shaped my interest in evidence‑based decision‑making, capability development, and the practical application of research in complex organisational and policy environments.
