The central part of a PhD student's life is, of course, research. In my research, I am exploring how the increasing use of data is changing human resource management in companies and what unexpected consequences and reactions can result from this - both for companies, their employees and for the professional field of human resource management. My research topic is highly topical and affects managers all around the world and in all industries - one could say it is a very 'trendy' topic, which makes it all the more exciting for me to research in this area, as there is a lot of interest in my research. For example, I have been invited several times to give guest lectures here at Loughborough, but also at other universities in other countries around the world.
