Anely Bekbergenova joined the Chair of Research and Science Management in 2024 as a Postdoctoral research fellow.
Anely’s research focuses on leadership, gender, entrepreneurship, and human-computer interaction. She is particularly interested in how exposure to role models, or the embodiment of role models in virtual reality can influence individual performance.
In September 2023, she defended her doctoral dissertation at the faculty of business and economics at the University of Lausanne (HEC Lausanne). Her doctoral research focused on charismatic signaling and gender in entrepreneurial and academic settings. She explored whether women and men were perceived differently when employing identical verbal and nonverbal communication tactics. Also, whether women and men used these tactics differently. Further, she investigated whether real and virtual human leaders are perceived differently and how individuals react differently to erring algorithms in comparison to erring humans. She has applied methods, such as virtual reality, deep fake, computerized detection of nonverbal behavior, and automated detection of verbal charisma.
She earned her Bachelor of Science in Management degree and Master of Science in Finance degree at HEC Lausanne in Switzerland. Prior to starting her doctoral studies, she worked in the wealth management sector in Switzerland.
