My Research
Overview of my Research
My research is situated within the area of entrepreneurship having a particular expertise with regards to the influence of gender upon women’s entrepreneurship, high technology business incubation and family business. My early research interests developed in response to a curiosity about the development of entrepreneurial clusters, incubators and networking. I have extensive experience of enabling and participating successfully in both regional and international entrepreneurial ecosystems, as a result of well-established research networks in the UK, Ireland, EU, New Zealand, US and the Middle East, spanning 20 years. My academic outputs include 60+ journal articles; 9 book chapters; 4 books, 100+ conference papers which have had significant impact in terms of academic metrics (over 7500 citations, h-index 37, i10-index 59). For the last four consecutive years I have been ranked amongst the top 2% of scientists in the world for research impact, by a study led by Stanford University which ranks scientists across the world, based on a composite citation index from the Scopus database. My academic inquiry is fuelled by intellectual curiosity, driving me to seek out interesting contexts and diverse perspectives.
