Fabrizio Dell’Acqua

I am a postdoctoral researcher at Harvard Business School. I received my Ph.D. in Management from Columbia Business School.

My research explores the integration of AI into teams and organizations, with a particular focus on human-AI collaboration. I run experiments that investigate the impact of AI on knowledge workers, its effects on team dynamics and performance, and its broader societal implications.

Prior to my Ph.D. at Columbia, I had received degrees in economics from Bocconi University and London Business School. I had also co-founded several tech ventures.
