Biographies of invited speakers

Danny Budzak, London Legacy Development Corporation


Andrew Jack, Financial Times

Andrew Jack has worked as a journalist for the Financial Times since 1990. He runs the curated content team which picks the best news and analysis from the FT and the rest of the web. He was previously deputy editor of the analysis section, pharmaceuticals correspondent, Moscow bureau chief, Paris correspondent, financial correspondent, general reporter and corporate reporter.

Christine Borgman, University of California (UCLA)

Christine Borgman's research and teaching span information retrieval, human-computer interaction, information seeking and use, scholarly communication, and bibliometrics. Since the latter 1990s, these themes have converged in the study of data and data practices, exploring how observations, models, artefacts, and software become data; how these practices vary by individual and by discipline; and how these findings can be employed in the design of data collection, data management, data archiving, and science policy.
Stewart Robinson, Loughborough University

Stewart is Professor of Management Science and Associate Dean Research at Loughborough University, School of Business and Economics. Previously employed in simulation consultancy, he supported the use of simulation in companies throughout Europe and the rest of the world. He is author/co-author of six books on simulation. His research focuses on the practice of simulation model development and use. Key areas of interest are conceptual modelling, model validation, output analysis and alternative simulation methods (discrete-event, system dynamics and agent based). Stewart is co-founder of the Journal of Simulation and President of the Operational Research Society.

We hope you are able to join us.
