Research Interests

I am deeply interested in various aspects of business management, including human resource management, leadership styles, organizational behaviour, strategic management, IT management, knowledge management, management information systems, and digital transformation. I focus on digital transformation applications, such as AI, big data analysis, cloud computing, Internet of Things, and others, particularly in the context of experiential learning in the classroom. My goal is to enhance student engagement and practical knowledge through these technologies.

As a lecturer, I aim to bridge the gap between theory and practice, aligning my research interests with the needs of students and the broader academic environment. I believe my research can contribute to a dynamic teaching experience, where personal practice and professional engagement complement each other, fostering a rich learning environment for students.

I am confident that the academic resources and feedback available in this environment will help me excel both as a researcher and lecturer, continuously improving the quality of the learning experiences I provide.
