Dr. Claes is a management scholar (Ph.D., INSEAD) who investigates the socio-cultural construction of worth in markets—how different audiences evaluate producers and their outputs.

Specifically, I investigate "learning readiness", or the social, cognitive and neural features that predict academic motivation and learning success. I believe these clues will reveal the depths of an individual's potential to learn. And tracking the development of these features, as well as how they vary over time, across individuals from diverse backgrounds, and across
