Education

My work confronts complexity science with real world problems and is centred on modelling uncertainty and risk in time series. A particular focus is models for processes that exhibit both heavy-tailed jumps and long ranged temporal memory, thus creating correlated extreme events (“bunched black swans”). My work, presentations and the conferences that I organise all aim to catalyse the two way dialogue between new ideas and paradigms drawn from complexity science, and the existing discipline-specific knowledge of more traditional disciplines and end users.
