Personal profile
Personal Statement
I am currently a Chancellor's Fellow in the Department of Management Science in Strathclyde Business School. My area of research is continuous optimisation, with a particular focus on geometric solution approaches. I like to take inspiration from problems of competitive and equitable access, trying to ensure that my academic research contributes towards addressing the world's most pertinent problems and benefitting society.
My research has been published in 3* and 4* journals (Association of Business Schools list) and I am responsible for mentoring five PhD students. I have experience teaching on a wide range of courses and am currently Course Director for Business Analytics.
Research Interests
My research interests lie primarily in continuous optimisation, focussing on facility location problems and the use of computational geometry in their solution. Of particular interest are the issues and applications of considerate and competitive location in the presence of barriers to and enablers of movement, investigating game-theoretic interpretations of such problems and utilising machine learning techniques to ascertain optimal locations and strategies.
