Dr. Hüseyin Doluca began his academic journey studying Business Administration at the University of Marburg, with a focus on statistics, marketing, and information systems. He earned his M.Sc. in Management from the University of Texas at Dallas in 2001 and subsequently worked at the Institute for Statistics at the University of Marburg. He later joined the PhD program in Quantitative Economics at Goethe University Frankfurt, completing a Master’s degree in Business Research and a PhD at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. His academic path also included a research stay at the Department of Applied Economics at Erasmus University Rotterdam.

In 2010, he joined the Chair of Entrepreneurship and Management at the University of Würzburg. Since 2014, he has held a postdoctoral position at the Chair of Innovation Management and International Sustainable Business at the University of Augsburg. In parallel, he has led third-party funded projects in the field of knowledge and technology transfer, most notably the BMBF-funded initiative WIR (Wissenstransfer Region Augsburg), which promotes practice-based collaboration between academia and regional businesses.

His work encompasses research, teaching, and transfer and is characterized by a strong and substantial practical orientation, with thematic emphases on entrepreneurship, innovation, internationalization, and sustainability. Methodologically, he combines formal modeling with empirical research, including laboratory experiments. He actively mentors student founders and supports the development of entrepreneurial ideas and business models.
