I am an applied Micro Economist specialising in the Economics of Food, Agriculture, Environment and Health. I specialise in survey design and the analysis of associated data - much of this work involves Discrete Choice Experiments and Best Worst Scaling technqiues.
I am an adjunct Professor at the University of Western Australia.
I serve as an Expert Member of the Food Standards Agency's Social Science Advisory Committee and am an External Examiner at SOAS having previously fulfilled that role at Imperial College and York University.

My research is mainly in the Economics of the Environment, Food, Health and Education - much of it concerning preferences, values and trade-offs.
A great deal of recent work involves Discrete Choice Experiments and Best Worst Scaling. This has led to research projects using those methods to elicit preferences in diverse contexts such as plagiarism, risk perception, employment and the training choices of junior doctors.
My research has been funded by inter alia ESRC, MRC, NERC, BBSRC, NIHR, FSA, Defra, DfID, CSIRO. Much of it is interdisciplinary leading to papers in journals such as World Development, Emerging Infectious Diseases, Epidemiology and Infection, and Risk Analysis.
My research has been published in a wide range of Economics journals including: Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization, Journal of Environmental Economics & Management, American Journal of Agricultural Economics, Environmental & Resource Economics, European Review of Agricultural Economics, Ecological Economics and Managerial & Decision Economics.
