Current Research

My research examines value dynamics in emerging information systems, with a focus on how digital technologies shape the creation, propagation, and capture of value. Building on my dissertation on tokenized value in decentralized markets, my current work investigates blockchain-based markets, including tokenized assets, economic security, and digital market design. More recently, my research has expanded to AI-native information systems and agentic workflows, examining how autonomous agents reshape economic coordination, organizational structures, and scientific knowledge generation.
