I research in any area of Economics that interests me. I have been drawn to modelling Markets, foundational work in Game Theory and Statistics, and Financial Economics. I also research in Functional Analysis  and Combinatorics.

I like the algebraically inspired  fine art of Samia Halabi and the outback work of Australian artist Richard Bogusz and urban scenes of his son Robert. I regard myself as the only true follower of Theodor Adorno. I like gum trees.

My main present interests in Applied Economics are Higher Education Funding using contingent loans, the application of Cryptography in Financial Systems, and the economics of Bitcoin.
