Ni’s specialty is empirical and theoretical analysis of the health care, pharmaceutical, financial services, environmental and energy, and technology industries, as well as emerging markets. The Catalyst Award provides each of this year’s 36 recipients with a $75,000 grant, mentoring opportunities, and institutional recognition.
