Kyle Higham
Principal Investigator
Kyle Higham is a Fellow at Motu Economic and Public Policy Research. After completing his Te Pūnaha Matatini-funded PhD program at Victoria University of Wellington, he held postdoctoral positions at Ecole polytechnique federale de Lausanne in Switzerland and Hitotsubashi University in Japan.
Kyle’s research interests lie at the intersection of complex systems, innovation, and the science of science, and typically focus on the use of information in technical documents (such as patents and scientific articles) to study knowledge diffusion and innovation outcomes more broadly. With Te Pūnaha Matatini, he is investigating the quantitative aspects of knowledge exchange between scientists and policymakers.
