As a PhD Candidate in the Organisational Behaviour group at the University of Cambridge, I explore the process by which teams achieve innovative outcomes. I work on the development of a prototypic model of ambidextrous innovation that allows teams and organisations to predict the trajectory of team innovation at different milestones of their project cycle, placing a strong focus on producing actionable suggestions for companies on how these can excel in-house team innovation. I am fully supported in my research by the Cambridge Trust Scholarship and the Cambridge ESRC DTP stipend.
