Iain has over 14 years work experience as an applied mathematician in the finance industry, where he
specialises in the practical application of techniques from applied mathematics, physics, and statistics
to financial modelling.
His work covers the full life cycle of model development, from requirements analysis and theoretical investigation through to practical software delivery using numerical analysis and optimisation for model calibration, and technologies such as C++ and Excel on the IT side.
While highly qualified, with a PhD in applied mathematics, an MSc in financial mathematics and a Graduate Diploma in statistics, he is a practical, hands-on quantitative professional with excellent problem solving and communication skills. He is as comfortable giving a seminar in a university department as he is giving an update to senior management in the boardroom.

His leisure interests include guitar and art.
And writing, of course.
