I am a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellow in the Centre for Regional and Economic Studies (KRTK) in Budapest, Hungary. I am also a CORD Fellow in the Center for Organization Research and Design (CORD) at Arizona State University and a Fellow in the Institute for Technoscience and Society (ITS) at York University. 

My research examines both science and innovation policy and higher education policy, with a focus on regional capacity-building for research and skilled workforce training for emerging technologies. I specifically explore academic research capacity and productivity in disadvantaged regions and at Emerging Research Institutions, and how career-related postsecondary education can support personal economic and professional mobility and regional innovation ecosystems. I have extensive experience in survey research and with quantitative, qualitative, and data-science research methods. My research has been supported by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA), Horizon Europe, the ECMC Foundation, and the Old Dominion University Research Foundation.

I hold a Ph.D. in Public Policy, with a specialization in Science and Technology Policy, from the School of Public Policy at the Georgia Institute of Technology. My dissertation examined faculty research productivity in emerging research institutions (ERIs) in the United States. My work has been published in outlets including Computers & Education, Computer Science Education, the proceedings of the American Society of Engineering Education, and The Internet and Higher Education. 

I am currently on the market for tenure-track Assistant Professor positions in Public Policy, Science Policy, Higher Education Studies, and related fields at universities with an English medium of instruction. I have a broad set of teaching interests and skills in subjects including research design, research methods, program evaluation, education policy, and regional government, among others.
