He was in the teaching honour roll multiple times and won the best teaching award twice, in 2012 and 2013.

Paulo’s research interests focus on several marketing areas including firm decisions to introduce new products, how products are adopted and sales spread across different markets, and consumer decisions to search and buy products online. This diverse research has appeared in several top marketing academic journals such as Marketing Science, Journal of Marketing Research, and Management Science. His recent projects used data collected from some of the most known firms and products, such as Amazon.com and Hewlett-Packard. Currently, he studies the role of social media in political races, and how much and for how long consumers use products, using data from the online games industry and the popular game World of Warcraft, as an example.
