My Ph.D project investigates the role of social networks for knowledge spillovers. I aim to open and challenge the fashionable black box of local knowledge spillovers to shed light on concrete mechanisms of knowledge flows in personal networks at different spatial scales. I am currently conducting case studies on knowledge relations of high-tech firms in the Cambridge region using qualitative and quantitative methods.

Furthermore, I have a long-standing interest in human-environment interrelationships, e.g. the question how human beings construct spaces and attach meaning to their environment.
