Main lines of research
My work focuses on the role of technology in development and economic growth. Much of the research deals with issues related to technology transfer, capacity building and impact of new technologies on developing countries, particularly in the area of information and communication technologies. In a related line of research, I study the role of universities in innovation systems and development.
