Supervising and mentoring students is a central part of my academic work. I work closely with undergraduates, master’s, PhD students, and postdocs on research projects at the intersection of strategy, public administration, and social impact. While it can feel slightly odd to take pride in achievements that are not strictly one’s own, this page highlights some of the accomplishments of advisees whose work I had the privilege to support.
