RESEARCH
My principal research interests lie in the field of conservation and impacts upon the South Wales economy. I am
currently investigating the impact of tourism, government policy and demography on conservation for my PhD.
Using the latest econometric modelling and e-factor analysis techniques.
My future research plans are to build on the foundations of my PhD to further develop models and tools in
conjunction with government bodies, environmental agencies and city financial modellers. I have a particular
expertise and interest in the regulation of urban utilities from a conservation and sustainability perspective. I am
able to read and speak French.
Relate your interests and skills to the vacancy early in your CV.
