About
From an academic background, I have modelling experience from "both sides of the fence" in the building, interrogation and understanding of catastrophe models (both as a developer within and, currently, a user of catastrophe modelling companies). Keen to help foster the understanding, simplification and choice of the appropriate catastrophe models through processes of model evaluation and validation, underpinned by scientific justification. I also lecture on windstorms at the UCL "Natural Hazards for Insurers" course. Specialities: Catastrophe model evaluation, catastrophe response, model evaluation, catastrophe model building.
