I'm a (mathematical) modeller with expertise in climate change and in wellbeing. I have a deep understanding of He Pou a Rangi/New Zealand Climate Change Commission's C-PLAN CGE model as the lead for this model. I've also modelled wellbeing, taxes and transfers, and energy and environment. I like to develop and manage mathematical models that serve society, the environment, and the greater good, as well as thinking deeply about the concepts they are trying to represent.I love to learn, and have done a lot of self-directed study as well as formal study. I also like my knowledge and skills to be useful and shared, so I take a pragmatic (as well as robust and thorough) approach to my work; and I have learned how to successfully communicate difficult technical concepts to a lay audience.Models I have worked on:C-PLAN - Multiregion recursive-dynamic CGE model focusing on climate change mitigation in the New Zealand economyLiving Standard Analysis Model - a top-down stock-and-flow model with a basic CGE open economy, 11 (OECD) aspects of wellbeing, and multiple household types. At prototype stage.Policy Strategy Model - a DSGE model for the New Zealand TreasuryTaxwell - a microsimulation model of the New Zealand tax and transfer system for the New Zealand TreasuryOPENZ - a linear optimisation model of the New Zealand energy supply system including energy end-use and greenhouse gas emissions for the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA)Energy End-Use Database - a database of consumer and end-use energy in New Zealand for EECACost-benefit analyses for EECAA CGE model with detail of primary, secondary, and end-use energy in New ZealandA physics model using general relativity for axisymmetric spacetimes such as rotating stars Various ad-hoc modelling for Treasury and EECA, and ad-hoc business modelling for TrustPower (electricity generator and retailer)

Listed skills include Analysis, Economics, Energy, Policy Analysis, and 27 others.
