Research student from School of Politics and International Studies; University of Leeds; England. The main research are on the industrial policy and its connections to technology upgrading capacities and approaches of new-comers in a global technology chain. However her research does not limit its scope to only the industrial policy, it also pays attention to any other socio-technical factors that foster or hinder technology upgrading capacities and approaches in those new-comers. She uses information technology industry (IT), focusing mainly on software and services sectors, in Vietnam as a case study. She have just returned from a lengthly fieldwork period in Vietnam and now she is back to Leeds for writing up.

The nature of her research also reflects a notion of knowledge economy. In this case, she is particular interested in a generation and a diffusion of tacit knowledge used in IT industry, and an economic value of the tacit knowledge.  She is also interested in a technology entrepreneurship as much as a policy sphere. She believes in a collaboration of academic from all disciplines, and I welcome all creativities in research methodology for the study of  innovation and technology entrepreneurship.
