Research

The central theme in my work is the development of human behaviour models which can be used to better represent people and their behaviours in Operational Research type simulation models. I am a committed advocate of agent-based modelling and simulation. Besides I am interested in the application of different types of modelling and simulation to support Risk Analysis.
