Jason is an Associate Professor at the Centre of Policy Studies (CoPS), based at Victoria University’s Flinders Street campus in Melbourne, Australia. He holds a PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of Melbourne.
Prior to joining CoPS in April 2015, Jason spent four years as a member of the Faculty of Business and Economics at the University of Melbourne, and two years as a Senior Analyst/Associate at Mercer Investments Australia. His areas of expertise include applied economic modelling for policy analysis, finance, gas dynamics and applied mathematics. At CoPS, Jason's core responsibilities include the development of practical economic models and databases for the provision of economic policy advice, recent examples of which include the development of the multi-regional VURMTAX model of Australia’s state and territories, and the USAGE2F and USAGE-HwyF financial Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models of the United States.
