Welcome to my website! I am a researcher interested in the provision and adoption of emerging communication and Internet access technologies, and the effects of regulatory context and industrial organization on the former. In addition, and also due to my often-times international (comparative) perspective, I look at the changing roles of national and international institutions in enabling the rollout of emerging communications infrastructures (with a particular interest in the role of regional economic communities). To date my research has focused on North America, Europe, and sub-Saharan Africa. Projects that I am currently involved in include a project on competition and innovation in the Canadian broadband market as well as a project on emerging market structures and competition in Next Generation Access networks in both the Netherlands and Canada.
I am currently affiliated with the Ted Rogers School of Management at Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada as a research fellow. Prior to coming to Toronto, I received my Ph.D. in Information Sciences & Technology from Penn State University in the USA (defended in November 2007) and a Master’s degree in Systems Engineering, Policy Analysis and Management from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands (2002). In 2006, I was a research associate at the Meraka Institute in South Africa, also known as the African Advanced Institute for Information and Communication Technologies.
