I have over 15 years of research experience in social networks, organizations, and knowledge transfer. Much of my research is at NetLab, an interdisciplinary network for conducting social network studies led by Barry Wellman. At NetLab, I am currently Director of NAVEL (Network Assessment & Validation for Effective Leadership); I have previously worked on the NetMap and Telework projects. Other studies I conducted as a consultant for Canadian Water Network, Labour Council, or the Momiji Foundation. My recent research examines collaboration and knowledge transfer in several country-wide multi-disciplinary research networks. I am now expanding my work on collaboration and knowledge transfer in new areas. I am working with Cdling’s founder Michael Cayley to assist more efficient connections among investors and startups in innovation networks. I am looking forward to new opportunities for demonstrating the value of Social Network Approach for understanding collaboration, knowledge transfer, and innovation.Specialties: I apply Social Network Analysis, traditional survey methods, and in-depth interviewing. I have published scholarly articles on networked organizations, communities of practice, research consortia, and telework.
