A finishing PhD with a particular interest in risk analysis for undertain domains and on the issue of incommensurability of SEJ research design. My PhD research is foundational , developing an internal Quality Assurance Framework (QAF) for uncertainty analysis Structured Expert Juedgement (SEJ) research design protocol.  It is hoped that this research will drive the quality of the data gathered using SEJ designs and that the research will close some of the current gaps which have been prevalent with the SEJ research design domain. 

Between my research studies I teach at the university in Business Analysis and Technology and also supervise the Master's degree dissertations for International Consultancy on an end to end basis.  This role has been extremely rewarding and students have given wonderful accolades in relation to my contribution to their studies and onward journies.
