My research focuses on how repeated policy, process, and technology adoption shapes public organizations over time. I explore how public involvement, technology, organizational structure, HR, and resilience have been affected by different dimensions of the complex governance logics, especially the adoption of novel technologies like AI.
I leverage the digital footprint of public organizations to study systems and advance theory. Part of this work involves constructing novel datasets from government records, developing typologies from those datasets, and using various methods of analysis (quantitative, computational, and qualitative) to better understand complex governance systems. I focus on areas where the population of organizations is extensive enough to allow empirical flexibility. I aim to improve the inclusiveness and sustainability of government organizations.
