About me

I am an interdisciplinary scholar who is interested in how public and private organisations develop strategies for leveraging sustainability and AI hypes. Organisations deceive and are deceived to stay legitimate and competitive. My focus areas are: 

  • Confabulation of GenAI in strategic management
  • Overconfidence in strategy development
  • Greenwashing and AI washing by corporations

I completed my PhD at the Australian National University and a Masters in Public Health at the University of Melbourne. I have held fellowships at the Mercatus Centre (GMU), the Santa Fe Institute, the IDDRI (Paris), and the ISEAS (Singapore). I have taught at universities in Canberra, Munich, Singapore, and Newcastle. I am currenly a Global Fellow at the Centre of International Law of the National University of Singapore.

Teaching

My teaching passion lies in showing students how organisations differentiate hype from opportunity and noise from risk. I use Socratic Inquiry to help students strengthen critical thinking skills. I also prioritise simulations to improve students' employability.

So far, I have taught modules related to sustainability, political system, research method, organisational leadership, and environmental economics. 

Research

My peer-reviewed articles were published in high impact factor journals such as Sustainable Development and Journal of Cleaner Production. My most recent work examines greenwashing regulation, magic concept in public management, epistemic vigilance in GenAI literacy, and GenAI confabulation in scenario planning.
