"I believe Ben is one of the best simulation experts in the world." -- Mehdi H., Harvard University"The amount of knowledge we learned from Ben in one hour has been equal to days and days working and struggling by ourselves." -- Zorost.comAsk Ben about a good simulation model and he will start to smile: A good model answers what the client wants to find out, it is as simple and complex as that!As a consultant, Ben works towards his vision of making simulation modelling much more widespread, both within his client organizations and within management consulting itself. Ben's vision is to bring simulation modelling into the centre of Analytics and Data Science as he believes that current techniques lack the power of simulation. His regular blog discusses the issue in more detail and creates useful debates.Ben holds a PhD in Complex Systems Simulation for developing an advanced aerospace design simulation for the early design decision-making. It was applied for designing several real unmanned aircraft like the first 3D-printed aircraft on the planet, see New Scientist: http://bit.ly/1D3UDSK . From his grad-school days in Complex Systems Simulation, Ben has become a well-regarded expert on hybrid simulation modelling which suggests to simply model your problem using the best techniques at hand (versus the typical approach of choosing one paradigm and sticking with it, no matter what).Ben thoroughly enjoys the consulting life: he might well speak to a health professional on vaccine supply chain details in the morning while discussing helicopter manning over lunch and detailing chocolates positioning in supermarkets in the evening.
Listed skills include Simulations, Modeling, Programming, Latex, and 39 others.
