I was previously a research associate at the Engineering Design Centre (EDC), Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge. As part of the EPSRC-funded IdEAS project, I developed a formal framework for relating system architecture to complexity concepts, and learning materials for researchers and practitioners from different disciplines to learn about complex systems.

More broadly, my research interests lie in Complex Systems Science and the methods used to study and engineer complex systems (e.g. self-organising robotic systems). The main contribution of my PhD thesis was the formalisation of multi-level behaviours in agent-based simulations so that multi-level and inter-level hypotheses about emergent behaviours could be specified and computationally tested. Currently, I am interested in applying techniques from both traditional statistics and statistical physics to formally characterise different behaviour classes in agent-based simulations.  

My other research interests and collaborations include Educational Psychology and Learning Interventions, Forced Migration, Intergroup Conflict, Language, Languages and Linguistics, Behavioural Finance, Systems Biology, and the Epistemology of Complexity Science.
