My research interests are R&D and innovation management, technology strategy, management and organization, innovation and intellectual property, open innovation. In these fields of study I have around 60 international publications and I have coordinated projects financed by private companies as well as public funding agencies.

Very recently I have started studying the impact of Research activities in terms of Third Mission of Universities and Public Research Centres. in this field of study I am collaborating with the Italian Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN) and with the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development (ENEA) .

Since December 2015 I am Vice Rector with specific mandate on scientific research activities.

Since 2015 I'm the Director of the PhD Program in Management, Finance and Law for Business, where I teach Innovation Management.

I obtained my Master Degree in Management Engineering in 1994 at Politecnico di Milano.
