Current projects

  • Regulating negative emotions around algorithmic-decision support tools to leverage tools to prevent life-threatening diseases: This is an academic collaboration with a large healthcare organization in New York City. The project explores how digital tools impact employees' emotions and their work practices. Since December 2021, we have conducted interviews and observations to explore and observe the experience of diverse healthcare teams working with an algorithmic tool that predicts sepsis in children.
     
  • Addressing patients’ emotional needs in remote patient monitoring to foster health equity: In collaboration with a large healthcare organization in New York City, this project investigates how to design and implement remote patient monitoring technologies so that they serve the emotional needs of diverse patient populations. We have conducted focus groups, interviews and observations to study these dynamics.
     
  • Leveraging inter-organizational collaboration to foster early-stage drug discovery: This project is a longstanding collaboration with a large pharmaceutical company. The objective of this project is to improve the development of new drugs via identifying core mechanisms that foster team learning from failure in strategic collaborations. Since 2018, we have conducted more than 100 interviews around how to effectively learn from failures and manage the associated negative emotions around it.
     
  • Improving emotion regulation in new venture teams: This project aims to help entrepreneurs regulate their emotions in highly dynamic and emotion-intense environment and teach them how to cope with problems instead of repeating them. A team-level perspective is especially important given that teams commonly create new ventures. Since 2017, my colleagues and I have collected data from more than 103 nascent venture teams who participated in Startup Weekend events across Europe.
