Many moons ago, at the grand old age of eight, a friend told me that I was going to grow up to be a scientist. In fact I think he hypnotised me to ensure it. I seem to recall protesting loudly at the time — and now, when I’m big and grown up, I find myself … Hmm. Interesting.

Life being what it is it’s been an odd and winding route to where I am today, a maths graduate with a PhD in the physics of complex systems. I’ve worked with a whole range of fascinating people on a whole range of fascinating topics, from the brain and neural networks to economics, social science and the dynamics of information, new directions in scientific publishing and cutting-edge reputation and recommender systems. I still don’t know what all the answers are, but I’m having a lot of fun trying to find the right questions …

Here in the science section you can access info on my publications, current and past projects, and a bunch of other information.  Have fun and keep the research going!
