Michael Roach

Roach's research investigates questions at the intersection of technology entrepreneurship and scientific labor markets, with implications for both management scholars and policy makers. Roach's research has one stream that examines the early careers of science and engineering PhDs, especially careers as early employees of technology startups. Roach also examines how U.S. immigration policies impact both startup hiring and the early career choices of foreign-born doctorates. Roach's research has another stream that investigates the commercialization of university research discoveries through startups and the composition of academic founding teams.
