Professor Ma’s research has centred on neuro-management, neuro-industrial engineering, and safety engineering science, with particular emphasis on applying neuroscience methods to management decision-making, consumer behaviour, and industrial safety. His work has explored the use of brain imaging, physiological measurement, and behavioural experiments to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying managerial, organisational, and consumer behaviours, contributing to the development of interdisciplinary approaches linking neuroscience with management science. Through leadership of national research programmes and participation in international scientific collaboration, he has contributed to research on decision-making, risk perception, safety behaviour, and organisational processes in complex environments. Author of numerous peer-reviewed publications and monographs, Professor Ma has also supervised and trained researchers working at the intersection of neuroscience, management, and engineering. Through sustained research, academic leadership, and interdisciplinary collaboration, his work has contributed to connecting advances in neuroscience with applications in management innovation, industrial safety, organisational behaviour, and decision science.
