Henrique M. Barros is an Assistant Professor in Innovation at DCU Business School. He earned his PhD in Business Studies from the University of Warwick (UK) and has also trained at Harvard Business School (in both Entrepreneurship and Participant-Centred Learning).

His research has appeared in distinguished academic journals such as Research Policy, Technovation and the Journal of Technology Transfer, and he has been a recipient of awards at conferences held by the European Academy of Management, the International Association for Management of Technology (European chapter – EuroMOT) and the Brazilian Academy of Management.

Before starting his academic career, he also worked as a patent examiner at the Brazilian Patents and Trademarks Office (aka INPI) as well as a consultant on strategic management of innovation. More recently (2016-2021), he acted as an ad hoc intellectual property consultant to a Cambridge (UK)-based IP firm.

Currently, Henrique sits on the scientific committee of the Brazilian Academy of Management (aka ANPAD). He also serves as an ad hoc consultant to the Research Support Foundations of the States of São Paulo (FAPESP) and Bahia (FAPESB) and as a reviewer for a number of scientific outlets.
