Brief Bio

(apologies for the third-person view, see note above..!)

Simon joined the University of New South Wales School of Economics to begin PhD studies in 2002. Prior to which he graduated with a B.Sc (Industrial Chemistry) and B.A.(Pols) from the same institution, completing honours in the Centre for Advanced Macromolecular Design (CAMD) where he investigated self-organizing polymer films (see publications below). In 2004 he was accepted into the Santa Fe Institute (SFI)'s Graduate Workshop in Computational Social Science Modeling and Complexity, lead by John Miller and Scott Page , which was great fun. Since then, he has had a continuing involvement with the Network Theory Working Group, formed out of the Complexity Science theme at the CSIRO.

He recently received his Ph.D. and currently works as a Lecturer in the School. His teaching mostly involves the honour of delivering and developing the first year Quantitative Methods A (QMA) course, and currently helping out the second/third-year course in Game Theory and Business Strategy.
