Biography

Felix is a Lecturer in Management at the Adam Smith Business School and an Associate of the Deep Tech Innovation Centre. His research explores how high-stakes judgments and decisions are made in frontier technology contexts, and how understanding these socio-cognitive processes can inform the design, management, and growth of organisations operating under extreme technological uncertainty. Methodologically, his work is grounded in qualitative inquiry and is increasingly complemented by experimental and computational approaches.

He was a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Early Stage Researcher at the University of Glasgow. His doctoral research was part of the EC funded MCSA-ITN Project Legitimation of Newness and Its Impact on EU Agenda for Change, exploring the legitimation of new technologies, business models, and ecosystems in FinTech. Afterwards, Felix joined the UKRI/ESRC-funded Future Finance project, which investigated ways to enhance the innovation capacity of small and medium-sized financial services firms.

Prior to joining the University, Felix worked as the Head of Finance for his family’s metal construction business and as an inhouse management consultant for Bosch in Germany. He holds a bachelor’s degree in business and management from Aalen University in Germany, a master’s in entrepreneurship, innovation & technology from Strathclyde Business School and a PhD in Management from the University of Glasgow.
