Maria Rita Micheli

Assistant Professor, IÉSEG School of Management

Assistant Professor, IÉSEG School of Management Maria Rita Micheli is Assistant Professor of Strategy at IESEG School of Management in Paris, in the Department of Management & Society. She obtained her Ph.D. at Rotterdam School of Management Erasmus University in 2015. Her research, appeared in Organization Science, Journal of Management Studies, and Creativity and Innovation Management, revolves around knowledge transfer, with particular emphasis on the processes leading individuals and companies to innovate and introduce new paradigms. She studies these mechanisms within multiple contexts, ranging from creative companies, stigmatized organizations and scientific institutions.

Mario Campana

Lecturer in Marketing, University of Bristol

Lecturer in Marketing, University of Bristol Mario is a Lecturer in Marketing in the School of Management. He earned his PhD at Bayes Business School (formerly Cass) in 2015 and he held the position of Lecturer in Marketing at Goldsmiths, University of London, between 2015 and 2021. His research interests lie broadly within consumer research, and consumer culture theory specifically. His research programme looks at three consumer research domains: (1) materiality, (2) diversity and inclusion, focusing LGBTQ+ themes, and (3) alternative modes of market exchange. His approach is qualitative and interpretivist, and bridges marketing and management. His work has been published in internationally recognised journals (e.g. Journal of Macromarketing, International Journal of Consumer Studied) and has been presented to leading conferences in marketing and management (e.g. Association of Consumer Research, Consumer Culture Theory, European Marketing Academy Conference, Academy of Management Annual Meeting).

M. Ángeles Serrano

ICREA Research Professor of Complexity Science, Universitat de Barcelona

ICREA Research Professor of Complexity Science, Universitat de Barcelona M. Ángeles Serrano is an ICREA Research Professor at the Dept. of Condensed Matter Physics of the University of Barcelona (UB) in Spain, where she directs the Mapping Complexity Lab, and holds an appointment as an External Faculty at the Complexity Science Hub CSH Vienna in Austria. M. Ángeles belongs to the Editorial Board of the APS journal Physical Review Research, and she is a founding member of Complexitat, the Catalan network for the study of complex systems, and a promoter member of UBICS, the UB Institute of Complex Systems. A native of Barcelona, she received a Ph.D. in theoretical physics from UB and a year later a master in mathematics for finance from the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica CRM. She spent several years in the private sector and returned to academia to work in complexity science. She conducted postdoctoral research at Indiana University (USA), the EPFL (Switzerland), and IFISC Institute (Spain), and was awarded a Ramón y Cajal Fellowship. Prof. Serrano is astonished by the amazing features that emerge in the structure, function, and evolution of complex systems, and she is using networks and data science to model and to predict them.
