Executive Director of the ESRC Centre for Research of Innovation and Competition (CRIC) and Policy Research in Engineering, Science and Technology (PREST), Institute of Innovation Research, University of Manchester.

I joined the University of Manchester from the Judge Institute of Management Studies at the University of Cambridge in 1996 to become a Senior Research Fellow at the PREST London Office, before taking a joint appointment with CRIC at its foundation in 1997. I subsequently became a Director of PREST in 1999 and was appointed a Professor and a Director of CRIC in 2001. My research interests in the CRIC research programme centre on services and innovation and the role of knowledge, together with Research and Development (R&D) and technology transfer, in the innovation process. My work is also exploring the role that the consumption process plays in industrial innovation. Theoretical work has centred on the combinatorial role of services in innovation and consumption (exploring the process of encapsulation) and in the relationship between knowledge and innovation. Empirical research has centred on exploring innovation in services, R&D activity, technology transfer and industry academic links.
