Tristan’s research examines evaluation processes in market and organisational contexts to improve our understanding of stratification, careers, and entrepreneurship. A contribution of Tristan’s work on evaluations is showing how the design and structure of evaluation processes contribute to inequality. He has shown this in contexts ranging from online platforms to entrepreneurship to hiring. Tristan also works on questions around entrepreneurship and careers, recently examining how failure in high-tech startups affects the careers of their founders and employees. His research has been recognised with various awards from the Academy of Management and INFORMS and has been published in leading peer-reviewed journals.
