- Study of knowledge flow (learning and forgetting), knowledge inventory, and knowledge management. Conducted graduate research at Stanford University and Naval Postgraduate School (2003-2007). Continuing research on knowledge growth and decay with Professors Ray Levitt and Michael Ramscar (Stanford) exploring how managerial interventions that impact individual learning and forgetting of skills among individuals in project groups quantitatively affect project organizations. This research triangulates data from empirical learning situations, synthetic experiments, and computational simulation modeling.
