Aaron is a doctoral candidate in Management (Employment Relations and Human Resources) at the London School of Economics. His research interests centre around processes and performance in diverse teams, and the ways in which such teams behave and perform differently to more homogenous teams. His interest in team diversity stems from his own rich experiences engaging with and learning from diverse individuals from a variety of backgrounds and with experiences and perspectives different to his own. He also has a strong interest in the role of cultural values and norms in shaping individuals’ actions and behaviours within organisations.
Aaron’s dissertation focuses on the impacts of cultural diversity within teams, with papers seeking to understand the effects of cultural diversity on firm-, team-, and individual-level performance. He additionally seeks to understand the underlying mechanisms through which cultural diversity affects performance, as well as other team-level outcomes such as satisfaction and viability. His studies cover research contexts including executive top management teams, professional sports teams, and student project teams.
Alongside his PhD research, Aaron’s other work includes an experiment-based project exploring the extent to which the use of AI in recruitment can mitigate or exacerbate biases in hiring across different national contexts, as well as qualitative research in the field of employee volunteering programmes.
In addition to his research, Aaron also teaches on courses in Econometrics (MG205) and Management Analytics (MG107SC) within the Department of Management. He is an accredited Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (HEA).
Prior to joining the LSE, Aaron graduated from the University of Oxford with a BA in Economics and Management where he earned various prizes and awards, including a Gibb's Prize in Management and a College Scholarship.
