Biography

I am currently completing a PhD in Computation Finance primarily in Leeds University Business School under the supervision of Professor Schenk-Hoppé (Leeds University Business School and School of Mathematics). In September I will start work as a Lecturer in the Department of Economics at the University of Leicester.

Last year I co-organized a workshop on Complex Adaptive Economic Systems at ECAL 2007 (European Conference on Artificial Life), this year I followed this up by proposing a theme at ALife XI on markets.

Prior to this in July 2004 I graduated with First Class Honours in Computer Science from The School of Computing at the University of Leeds. During my second year I was awarded a Nuffield Undergraduate Research Bursary which allowed me to work with Dr. Seth Bullock to investigate the nest construction behaviour of paper wasps. My final year project followed on from my interest in paper wasps to look at the nest construction process in termites colonies (see publications).
