Personal profile
Personal Statement
I pursued my PhD in Marketing at the University of Edinburgh, where I also taught several undergraduate and postgraduate courses for more than two years. I am now a Marketing Lecturer at the University of Strathclyde.
I also hold significant industry experience, having worked as a Category Manager for a global technology company for a few years prior to doing my PhD.
Research Interests
My research focuses on the impact of technology (e.g., social media, augmented and virtual reality, artificial intelligence) on consumer-brand interactions and users' well-being. I use both qualitative and quantitative methods, although I am predominantly an experimental researcher. My research has been published in well-known journals such as Psychology & Marketing, the Journal of Advertising Research and Computers in Human Behavior.

Teaching Interests
As a teacher, I aim to not only develop the knowledge of my students but also to encourage them to build analytical and interpersonal skills that will be needed in their future careers. I enjoy co-creating knowledge with students and see myself as a guide/facilitator.
I taught both at postgraduate and undergraduate levels at the University of Edinburgh, and I am now mainly teaching at the postgraduate level here at Strathclyde.
