Immigrant | Assistant Professor in Org Behavior @HarvardHBS. I study the experience, antecedents, and consequences of passion.

Excited to share new research published @ASR_Journal with @mabelabraham and @tristanbotelho. We explore how experiencing misrecognition—getting less or more recognition than deserved—influences how people subsequently evaluate others. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00…
