AI Strategy Human-AI Systems Emerging Technology Organizational Design

I bring scientific rigor to executive decision-making and executive authority to scientific research. At the micro level, I shape how AI tools get built through model evaluation, measurement design, and applied development research. At the meso level, I study what those tools change about cognition, trust, identity, and collaboration. At the macro level, I redesign organizations to become AI-enabled and determine their frontier. Everything I build is grounded in data, guided by values, and pointed toward human flourishing.

What I'm Working On

My research spans the full lifecycle of AI in organizations: from the applied development research that shapes how models get built, to the organizational redesign that makes them useful, to the science of what they change about human cognition, trust, and collaboration. Three questions drive the work.

How should organizations be designed around AI?

The Human-AI Collaboration Framework is a methodology for co-designing organizations around how people actually think, make decisions, and build expertise. When AI enters a workflow, the roles, team structures, and decision rights around it need to be architected with the same discipline as the technology.

What does real human-AI collaboration produce?

Collaborative Intelligence is what happens when humans and AI develop new capabilities together, not just divide tasks. My research identifies three mechanisms it requires: complementarity, co-evolution, and boundary-setting. Without all three, organizations automate what they already have instead of building what they could become.

How do people learn to trust AI systems?

Trust Architecture is the science of designing appropriate reliance. My work studies how decision-makers calibrate their judgment alongside AI, what evidence builds confidence, how autonomy should expand, and what breaks when organizations leave this process to chance.
