Research experience in philosophy, cognitive science and complex systems influences my approach to work and to life in general. That childhood question what makes it go? has grown and acquired siblings like how do these two things relate to one another? and why does it feel like it does to be me? -- and, perhaps most importantly, what if…? Trying to understand questions like these isn’t just interesting; it's fun!
As an academic, I studied puzzles about the brain, consciousness and phenomenal experience. As an industrial researcher in the Complex Systems Laboratory at British Telecommunications, I explored machine cognition, artificial evolution, novel computation and quantum decoherence. Later, as a senior manager, business strategist and consultant, the same spirit of enquiry informed my work on navigating the complexities of financial markets.
These pages include papers, unfinished 'work in progress', conference information and related details mainly from my time as a researcher in industry.
