BIOGRAPHY I study how the pervasiveness of video streaming services
affects consumers and firms in the entertainment industry. This includes
understanding how peer effects shape the consumption of experience
goods and how recommender systems affect consumer choice. My work also
focuses on the impact of digital technologies on educational outcomes.
This requires understanding how teachers and students use technologies,
face-to-face and remotely, to improve learning processes. Most of my research
is devoted to analyzing large datasets obtained from organic in-vivo
randomized field experiments. My work has been published in top journals in information
systems and marketing, such as Management Science, Information Systems
Research, Management of Information Systems Quarterly, Journal of Management
of Information Systems, Marketing Science, Journal of Marketing Research. I
am the recipient of the 2018 INFORMS Information Systems Society Early
Career Award and top 25 worldwide research scholar in information systems
according to the rankings from the Association for Information Systems for
the period 2020-2022. I serve as Associate Editor for Management Science
and served as Associate Editor for the Management of Information Systems
Quarterly between 2017-2020. I hold a BSc in Computer Science from Instituto Superior Tecnico (IST), a MSc in Electrical Engineering and
Computer Science and a MSc in Technology Policy and Management, both from the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and a PhD in Telecommunications
Policy from CMU. I served as a teaching assistant at MIT and at IST and as an
invited lecturer at Catolica-Lisbon and at the
Judge Business School, University of Cambridge. I served as a post-doctoral
fellow at the School of Information at UC Berkeley and as an Assistant
Professor at IST, before moving to CMU. I am also an invited Professor of
Information Systems Management and Data Analytics at the Nova School of
Business and Economics. |
