Cyrus is a Ph.D. candidate in the Management Department at the Robert J. Trulaske, Sr. College of Business, University of Missouri.

Through his work, Cyrus investigates how practices such as staffing and compensation influence performance outcomes at both the employee and firm levels. He is also interested in understanding how experiences of adversity shape employee attitudes and behaviors within organizations.
