My research examines experience, negotiation, and management of emotions at workplace, along with happiness and well-being. Currently, I am working on a project examining collective emotions using Twitter data. Working with research partners at University of Mumbai, Texas A&M University, and Silence Laboratories Inc., I am developing a method for identifying significant emotional events in countries using a time series analysis of big-data. Previously, my work has used qualitative methods to examine the experience of emotions during organisational change events.

I am committed to developing innovative qualitative and quantitative methods and approaches through my research.

I welcome doctoral research projects related to emotions in organisational and social settings, organisational change, well-being and happiness, resilient organisations, and cross-cultural management.

I have supervised three PhDs to completion and am currrently supervising two doctoral students.
