I am an economist and policy analyst. My current research is focussed on developing new insights and policy directions based on the study of economic systems as complex systems. I take an interdisciplinary approach to my work collaborating with and drawing on other (natural and social) sciences. Previously as an economic advisor I have led policy evaluation work for government on local public services, finance, and on housing, as well as strategic research, business planning and change management. I also previously worked as a financial analyst in international commercial banking. My research interests include dynamics in complex networks, nonlinear dynamical systems, nonstationary time series analysis, and time-frequency and multi-scale methods and systems. Other areas of expertise and interest include behavioural and experimental economics and their application for policy design and evaluation. For CECAN I am developing network-theory based tools for the informative visualisation of complex interdependencies and flows of influence in complex systems, to help make sense of the complexity captured by participatory systems mapping.
