His research centers on social psychology, aging, and intergenerational dynamics in organizations, with a special focus on ageism and youngism. He investigates how generational stereotypes affect workplace inclusion, leadership, and advice-giving across age groups. His work has been published in top journals including Academy of Management Review, Psychological Bulletin, and PNAS.
The most recent publications reveal a consistent trend in examining age, gender, and generational intersections in organizational settings. His work explores how younger workers face underestimation (youngism), how older workers are stereotyped, and how middle-aged professional women navigate dual biases. He develops conceptual frameworks like GATE and PORTAL to understand workforce engagement across life stages.
